Former Miami Dolphins star and three-time
NFL Pro Bowler Eugene “Mercury” Morris has agreed
to serve as the Guest Speaker at the 2003 Lou Groza Award
Banquet on December 9, 2003, at the Palm Beach Gardens Marriott
in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
Morris graduated from West Texas State University
and was drafted by the Dolphins in the third round of the
1969 NFL Draft. Morris was one of the key members of the
undefeated 1972 team, where he rushed for 1,000 yards and
scored 12 touchdowns. He combined that year with Larry Csonka
to become the first pair of teammates to rush for at least
1,000 yards in the same season. He was named a Pro Bowler
in 1971, 1972, and 1973 and ranks second on Miami’s
all-time career rushing list. Morris spent seven years with
the Dolphins before playing for the San Diego Chargers for
one year.
