Professional career
In 1988, Zeno was selected in the seventh round (182nd overall) of the 1988 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.[2] Zeno's draft valued dropped from its original expectation because his poor performance at the National Football league combined with off-season knee injuries. He ran a 4.8 40-yard dash. Zeno responded to his performance by saying "I'm capable of running a 4.6 in the 40, but I'm not capable of running a 4.3 or 4.4, and they should know that. I'm a football player, not a track star."[3] In 1989, he was a member of the Green Bay Packers training camp but was released on July 27, 1989.[4] Later he signed with the Calgary Stampeders. In 1990, he was a member of the British Columbia Lions.[5] In 1991, he was the 80th wide receiver drafted in the WLAF Draft by the Raleigh–Durham Skyhawks. In 1991, he played for the Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena Football League.[6]
