James Forrest Kiick (born August 9, 1946 in Lincoln Park, New Jersey) is a former professional American football running back, who is best known for playing halfback for the Miami Dolphins in the American Football League (AFL) from 1968 to 1969 and in the National Football League (NFL) from 1970 through 1974. He was a member of the undefeated 1972 team, and was an integral part of the ball-control running game which characterized the Dolphins under head coach Don Shula in the early 1970s. He played in three Super Bowls. He is the Dolphins' fourth all-time leading rusher. He and Dolphins fullback Larry Csonka were known as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," in 1973 co-wrote a book, Always on the Run, and in 1974 shocked the sports world when they signed with the World Football League.
Kiick grew up in Lincoln Park, New Jersey and played football, baseball, and basketball at Boonton High School. He made the All-Morris County team, but as a defensive back, not as a running back.
