Mark Deyon Higgs (born April 11, 1966 in Owensboro, Kentucky) is a former American football running back in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals. He was drafted in the 8th round of the 1988 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at the University of Kentucky.
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). 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.
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. In training camp he passed Darryl Clack on the depth chart as Herschel Walker’s backup, but didn’t have any opportunities to see the field during the regular season.
On March 2, 1989, he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as a Plan B free agent. He finished the year with one start, 49 carries for 184 yards and 3 receptions for 9 yards.
Higgs joined the Dolphins as a Plan B free agent prior to the 1990 season, where he was initially a fourth-string running back and special teams player. The next year, he was named the starter, replacing an injured Sammie Smith and would keep the role even after Smith recovered from his injury.
During the 1993 season, Higgs was replaced as the team’s starting running back by Terry Kirby. Higgs had led the team in rushing for the three consecutive seasons with totals of 905, 915 and 693 yards, a consecutive feat that had only been matched by Larry Csonka, Karim Abdul-Jabbar and Ronnie Brown. In 1994, he accepted a pay cut to remain with the Dolphins, but was eventually released on November 15.
On November 17, 1994, he signed as a free agent with the Arizona Cardinals. The next year, he played in only one game, after a hit resulted in a back injury that kept him out for 13 weeks. He was waived on December 1, 1995, and retired shortly afterwards.
In 1997, his jersey number was retired. In 2005, he was inducted into the University of Kentucky Hall of Fame. In 2008, he was inducted into the Kentucky Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Higgs began his own business, M and T Transportation, Inc, in 1998. He joined the Miami Dolphins Alumni Association’s advisory board in 2002, and is a frequent visitor to the Dolphins’ radio show. In 2007, he became the running backs coach for Miami Central High School.
