"Mercury" Morris
As a young halfback at West
Texas State University, Eugene
Morris earned the nickname "Mer
cury" for his awesome display of
speed and agility on the football
field. Later, as a member of the
Miami Dolphins, Morris went on
to appear in three Super Bowls,
three Pro Bowls, and with Larry
Csonka, to become the first
backfield duo to rush for more
than 1,000 yards each in a single
season. By the end of his career at
the age of 29, Mercury MorriS had
the distinction of having the third
best yards-per-carry average in
history. However, after_ he left the
game due to numerous injuries, he
also became heavily involved in the
tragic world of cocaine.
On August 18, 1983, with his
mortgage three months in arrears,
Morris was arrested for acting as a
middleman in a sale of slightly
more than an ounce of cocaine to
undercover narcotics officers.
Under the state of Florida's new
mandatory sentencing laws for
drug offenders, Morris was handed
a 20 year prison term. In March of
1986, after serving three and a half
years in prison, Morris was releas
ed by the Florida Supreme Court
and given a re-trial on the grounds
that his lawyers had not been
allowed to present evidence of
police entrapment. In June, Morris
was freed by Florida circuit court
Judge Ellen Morphonios, who also _ rtayt. for the Miami Dolphins
