Guido A. Merkens (born August 14, 1955 in San Antonio, Texas) is a former professional American football player who played quarterback, wide receiver, punter and cornerback for nine seasons for the Houston Oilers, New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL.
In Houston during the 1970's, playing primarily on special teams, his penchant for being the emergency backup for all of the aforementioned positions earned him the popular aphorism "Jack of all trades; Master of none."
