Richard Eugene Norton (November 16, 1943 – July 25, 2013) was an American professional football player who was a quarterback. He played college football for the Kentucky Wildcats before playing professionally with the American Football League (AFL)'s Miami Dolphins (1966–1969), and one game for the National Football League (NFL)'s Green Bay Packers (1970).[1] He died of natural causes on July 25, 2013.
