Isaac Curtis Biography

Isaac Curtis is one of the most popular and richest American Football Player who was born on October 20, 1950 in Santa Ana, Santa Ana, United States. Isaac Fisher Curtis (born October 20, 1950) is a former professional American football wide receiver who played his entire National Football League career with the Cincinnati Bengals (1973–1984).

Curtis’ most productive season was in 1975, when he caught 44 passes for 934 yards for a league-leading and career-best 21.2 yard-per-catch average, along with scoring seven touchdowns.

In 1977, Curtis was limited by injury to 20 catches in eight games, but bounced back in 1978 with a career-best 47 receptions along with 737 yards and three touchdowns.

He continued to play a major part in the Bengals’ passing games until his 11th and final NFL season, 1984, when he had 12 receptions.

Entering the 1973 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals needed a wide receiver who had speed to spread the field and opposing defenses for quarterback Ken Anderson. Curtis had world-class speed, running the 100-yard dash in 9.3 seconds as a member of Cal’s track team. Curtis also recorded a time of 20.7 seconds in the 200-meter dash in Los Angeles in 1970.

“The Isaac Curtis rule” should not be confused with the “Mel Blount rule”, which was a stricter revision of “The Isaac Curtis Rule”. Because Isaac Curtis had world-class speed, there were not defensive backs who could keep up with him and all teams would double and sometimes even triple cover him. In 1973 in his first year, the Bengals won the Central Division and faced the eventual Super Bowl Champions, the Miami Dolphins. Don Shula’s defensive backs did not have the speed to cover Curtis and Shula decided that he would have them push, bump, and hold him down the field. After that game, NFL defenses, including the Steelers, started doing the same thing to stop Curtis. Paul Brown wanted the rule changed, telling the NFL Competition Committee, “What good is it for us to have performers, if they aren’t allowed to perform.”

Curtis was a Pro Bowl selection four times (1973–1976) and was selected second team All-Pro for three consecutive seasons (1974–1976). Curtis helped lead the Bengals to a Super Bowl appearance in the 1981 season and had a solid performance in Super Bowl XVI, catching three passes for 42 yards. Years after his retirement, his quarterback Ken Anderson said that Isaac Curtis was “The Jerry Rice before Jerry Rice”.

He had another big year in 1976, with 41 receptions for 766 yards and six touchdowns, including a career-long 85-yard touchdown reception.
