Michael Anthony Quick (born May 14, 1959 in Hamlet, North Carolina) is a former American football wide receiver who played his entire career with the Philadelphia Eagles (1982-1990). Quick was a surprise pick by the Eagles who soon developed into a great wide receiver. Quick is a five-time Pro Bowler, selected consecutively from 1983 to 1987. On November 10, 1985, Mike Quick caught a 99-yard touchdown pass from Ron Jaworski in overtime (an Eagles team record, and tied with several QB-WR combos as a NFL record), as the Eagles beat the Atlanta Falcons in the game. He retired due to severe patella tendinitis. He was a popular player for the team and is remembered fondly by Eagles fans as a character player who gave it everything he had on every play. He was also considered to be a great teammate.
He played college football at North Carolina State University.
He is currently an announcer for Philadelphia Eagles radio broadcasts on 94.1 WYSP along with Merrill Reese. Quick now resides in New Jersey with his sons, Ronson and Stephen.
