Hubert Ginn (January 4, 1947 – September 21, 2023) was an American professional football player who was a running back for nine seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played for the Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Colts, and Oakland Raiders. He was a member of two Super Bowl championship teams, the 1972 undefeated Dolphins and the 1976 Raiders.[1]
Ginn served as Miami's backup running back during their
bone chip in his toe during the season and refused a pain killer injection to be able to play on it.[5] He was waived by the Colts during the 1974 preseason and re-signed by the Dolphins.[4][6]
After beginning the
injured reserve for the Dolphins, Ginn was waived in October.[7] He was signed by the Raiders a few weeks later.[8] Ginn's career ended after becoming a free agent after the 1978 season.[9]
Ginn died on September 21, 2023, at the age of 76.[10]
