Derrick Lassic Biography

Derrick Lassic is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on January 26, 1970 in Haverstraw, New York, United States. Derrick Owens Lassic (born January 26 in 1970) is an ex- American soccer running back. He played in the NCAA football tournament in the University of Alabama, and was a player in the Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers and the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL).

The Carolina Panthers selected him from the Cowboys roster in the 20th round (40th overall) of the 1995 NFL Expansion Draft. The team agreed to an agreement to settle his injury on August 27, following suffering from hamstring, knee and thigh injuries at the time of training.

In 1998, he signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League and was waived on August 17.

Although Smith signed in time for the third game against the Phoenix Cardinals, Lassic still started and led the team in rushing with 60 yards on 14 carries, while scoring his first 2 touchdowns during a 17–10 win. From that point his workload was significantly reduced, on the way to the Cowboys winning back-to-back Super Bowls. In 1993, he rushed 75 times for 269 yards and 3 touchdowns, but he suffered from the national pressure and the loyalty his teammates had towards Smith. Erik Williams criticized Lassic’s running style, saying “He runs too fast. We have a flow and he isn’t able to see it”, Nate Newton said, “Lassic was a nice kid, but if we expected to get back to the Super Bowl, we needed Emmitt in the lineup”.

In the following season, he was restricted by a torn ligament was unable to repair at the right knee in an early-season game, before being put as an injured reserve on the 6th of November in 1994. In Cowboys legend, he’s famous for being the team’s starting running back in the first two games during the 1993 season. Smith was unable to play due to the course of a contract dispute.
