Larry Csonka and power running became synonymous in the NFL of the 1970’s. As a player with the powerhouse Miami Dolphins he charged so tenaciously through defenses that his name became a household word and his nickname, ZONK, became a new American verb. From 1971-1973, he led the Dolphins to three Super Bowl appearances earning All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors along the way. Csonka earned the MVP award of the Dolphins’ Super Bowl VIII victory, was a key player in the Dolphins’ and the NFL’s only perfect season in 1972 and was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987.
