Larry Robert Seiple (born February 14, 1945) is a former American football player and coach. He played professionally as a tight end/punter for the Miami Dolphins from 1969 till 1977. His 1970 Topps card lists his position as Tight End.
Unlike most punters, Seiple did catch and carry the ball on occasion. His most prolific year was 1969, when he netted 577 yards and scored 5 touchdowns, leading the Dolphins in both categories that year. Seiple was often able to rush for yards instead of punting. That type of risk paid dividends for Miami in 1972, in a playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers when he ran for a 37-yard gain, keeping a drive alive. Miami would go on to win that game, and the Super Bowl that year, completing a perfect season of 17–0.
