Former Miami Dolphins running back Jim Kiick has died at the age of 73, the team announced Saturday.
Kiick was a vital member of the perfect 1972 Dolphins team that went 17-0 and won Super Bowl VII and the group that repeated the following year winning Super Bowl VIII.
Known for his versatility as a runner and a receiver, Kiick was part of a three-headed backfield with Larry Csonka and Mercury Morris during the peak of Dolphins dynasty in late 1960s and 1970s. He played seven seasons in Miami.
