Michael Haddix

American football player (born 1961)

Michael Montgomery Haddix (born December 27, 1961) is an American former professional football player who was a running back for eight seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Philadelphia Eagles and the Green Bay Packers. He played college football for the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Philadelphia selected Haddix in the first round of the 1983 NFL draft, primarily due to his 4.5 speed.[1] Haddix played eight seasons in the NFL and holds the dubious distinction of having averaged the fewest average yards per carry (3.0) for a player with more than 500 carries in the NFL.[2] He was inducted to the Mississippi State Hall of Fame in 2019.[3]
