Margene Adkins American Football

[caappy]

Margene Adkins (born April 30, 1947) is a former professional American football wide receiver in the National Football League, Canadian Football League and the World Football League. He played college football at Henderson County Junior College. While still a teenager, he joined the Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League as a wide receiver. In 1969, Adkins was voted to the CFL All-Star team after setting a regular season record for the highest average gain per pass reception at 25.0 yards, a record that stood for twenty-eight years (broken by Milt Stegall). He was part of both Ottawa's Grey Cup winning teams in 1968 and 1969, catching an important TD pass in the 1968 game when the Rough Riders defeated the Calgary Stampeders 24-21.

Adkins was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round (49th overall) of the 1970 NFL Draft. Having star wide receivers such as Lance Alworth and Bob Hayes, the team used Adkins primarily as a punt and kick returner during his two seasons. Although he wasn't on the active roster, due to injury, when the Cowboys won Super Bowl VI, he still received a ring and a full share of the playoff bonuses.

1967–1969 Ottawa Rough Riders
