The correct answer is: A. Jim Kiick
Jim Kiick was a running back in the National Football League (NFL) for the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets. He was nicknamed “The Sundance Kid” because of his resemblance to Robert Redford’s character in the 1969 film of the same name.
Kiick was born in 1946 in Warren, Ohio. He attended the University of Miami, where he played college football. After graduating from college, Kiick was drafted by the Dolphins in the first round of the 1968 NFL Draft.
Kiick played for the Dolphins for nine seasons, from 1968 to 1976. He was a member of the Dolphins’ undefeated 1972 team that won Super Bowl VII. Kiick also played for the Jets in 1977 and 1978.
Kiick retired from the NFL after the 1978 season. He was inducted into the Miami Dolphins Honor Roll in 1991.
