At least he didn’t betray the Dolphins like Csonka, Kiick and Warfield, when they went to the WFL.

Wow! Just this month, I began listing my 1973 Topps NFL cards on ebay, and saw his card just yesterday. Guess I’ll have to list his today. Probably have a few that are Mint, if anyone wants one..

Sad he won’t get to pop the champagne this year after the last unbeaten team falls.

Morris, Kick and Zonka all had a 1,000 yard+ season in 1972. Zonka carried more defensive players over goal lines and 1st down markers in one season than any running back of his time... maybe all time

Oh, you mean that Mercury Morris the notorious drug dealer?

I do not understand so-called, conservative people who seem to admire drug dealers. It makes no sense.

Never could stand that he was somehow made the unofficial spokesman for that ‘72 undefeated team; every time a team , like the ‘85 Bears for example, won the first 9,10 games of the year, and then lost, espn ,or other sports channels, would ALWAYS have him on, and he would just RUB IT IN. Why HIM? Why not DON SHULA? Bob Griese,Larry Cszonka, Earl Morral?

The guy people forgot, who was a HS draftee, was none other than Charlie Leigh. He was one of very few who made the NFL out of the Capital Region NYS, he went to Albany H.S. Charles Irving "Charlie" Leigh Sr. (October 29, 1945 – October 26, 2006) was a National Football League (NFL) running back. He was the first and only NFL player to be signed out of high school. He is best known for backing up Larry Csonka and returning kicks for the Miami Dolphins' back to back Super Bowl champions in the 1972 and 1973 seasons. He also played for the Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers. He played a total of six seasons in the NFL.[1]
