Mercury Morris, a running back and kick returner on the Miami Dolphins’ undefeated Super Bowl team in 1972, has died, according to a member of his family. He was 77.
The Miami Herald has confirmed Morris’ death through the Dolphins.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Eugene ‘Mercury’ Morris, legendary Miami Dolphins running back and cherished member of the NFL family, at the age of 77,” his son GhostWridah, a Miami-based musical artist born Troy-Jeffery Morris, posted on X. “Known for his electrifying speed and dynamic play, Mercury was a cornerstone of the Dolphins’ historic 1972 undefeated season and a two-time Super Bowl champion. His talent and passion left an indelible mark on the sport, and his three Pro Bowl selections only solidified his place among football’s greats.

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.
