Calvin Larry Morris is a former running back in the National Football League (NFL). Morris was born in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, on February 27, 1962.[1] He is the brother of Joe Morris, who played eight seasons in the NFL and Jamie Morris, who played three seasons in the NFL. Morris graduated from Ayer High School before attending Syracuse University where he played for their football team.[2]

After playing professional football in Italy, Morris signed on as a replacement player for the Green Bay Packers during the 1987 NFL season.[2] The signing was controversial within the Morris family, with Larry's brother Joe being one of the NFL players on strike.[3] He played in two games for the Packers, recording 8 rushes for 18 yards.[1] After his football career, he went into pharmaceuticals and coached youth football. He was married and had two children.[2]
