Miami Dolphins Legend Mercury Morris Dies at 77

Eugene 'Mercury' Morris, a legendary Miami Dolphins running back, passed away at age 77. Morris was instrumental in the Dolphins' historic unbeaten 1972 season, leading the league with 1,000 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. He played seven seasons with the Dolphins, winning two Super Bowl titles, and became a vocal advocate for the team's legacy. Known for his speed and dynamic play, Morris was a three-time Pro Bowler and coined the term 'Perfectville' to celebrate the 1972 team's undefeated record. Beyond football, Morris was a devoted family man and community figure, and he later became a motivational speaker. His death leaves Larry Csonka as the remaining member of the Dolphins’ celebrated backfield trio.
