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. He and halfback
Jim Kiick were affectionately known as "Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid,” and were key players in the Dolphins’ perfect
17-0-0 season in 1972. Csonka earned the MVP award of the
Dolphins’ Super Bowl VIII victory over the Minnesota Vikings by
rushing 33 times for 145 yards and two touchdowns. In 1973, he was
voted Super Athlete of the Year by the Professional Football Writers
Association. In 1987, he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall
of Fame in only his second year of eligibility.
Larry continues to work in the “public eye” as host and producer of
the outdoor adventure series, “North to Alaska”, which is
now sponsored by NAPA. Zonk! Productions, Inc. produces 26
original episodes airing year round for OLN (The Outdoor Life
Network). This program showcases Larry’s experience as a
fisherman and hunter and his enthusiasm for outdoor sports and
conservation.
Larry also stays busy traveling the country visiting various clubs
and corporations as a Sports Humor/Motivational speaker,
operating within his own company known as Csonka Promotions, Inc.
Larry Csonka has a tremendous story to tell and backs it up with a
warm sincere approach that will have listeners on the edge of their
seats. Larry will speak about the game, the players, coaching and
starring moments of a great career. His audiences delight in his
humor and leave feeling that they have always known him.
Larry Csonka is more than a retired football player; he is a
legend. He will leave you and your organization with a renewed
confidence to strive for perfection in any endeavor.
