Timeline

1966

Mark Deyon Higgs (born April 11, 1966) is an American former football running back who played in the National Football League (NFL) for the Dallas Cowboys, the Miami Dolphins, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Arizona Cardinals.

1987

He also had two of the five longest scoring plays in the University of Kentucky history - an 85-yard touchdown run against Utah State University in 1987 and an 84-yard touchdown run against Vanderbilt University in 1984.

1988

He played college football for the Kentucky Wildcats and was drafted in the 8th round of the 1988 NFL Draft by the Cowboys.

Higgs was constantly discouraged from playing football due to his size (5'7", 195 lbs), but still went on to surpass many of the rushing records at Owensboro (Senior) High School, becoming a two-time All-American and All-state selection. As a junior, he had 325 rushing yards against Owensboro Catholic High School.

As a senior, he carried the ball on nearly every play, posting 2,858 rushing yards, 32 touchdowns and nine 200-yard games, including 297 yards against Boone County High School.

He was a three-year starter, finishing as the school's all-time leading rusher by setting state records with 6,721 yards and 75 touchdowns.

As a freshman, he was a backup at running back behind George Adams, appearing in 10 games, while registering 476 rushing yards, 5 touchdowns and a school record 6.3 yards per carry, including a single-game average per carry record (29.0, 4–116 against Rutgers University).

The next year, he suffered a right knee injury in spring drills, but was able to return that fall to play in 11 games.

He alternated with Marc Logan, tallying 611 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns.

As a junior, he was a part of a platoon of running backs that included Logan and Ivy Joe Hunter, rushing for 527 yards and 5 touchdowns.

In his final season, he set school records with 1,278 rushing yards, 6.6-yard average, six 100-yard games and 10 rushing touchdowns.

He recorded the best career average per rushing attempt (5.43) in school history and became the third all-time leading rusher (2,892 yards).

Higgs was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the eighth round (205th overall) of the 1988 NFL Draft, after dropping because he was seen as being too small to play professional football.
