Quincy Morgan (born September 23, 1977 in Garland, Texas) is an American football wide receiver for the Denver Broncos. He was a second-round draft pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2001, and played with the team until he was traded to Dallas midway through the 2004 season.

Morgan was traded to the Cowboys for Antonio Bryant, following a public dispute between Bryant and Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells. Morgan would have a rather mediocre season with the Cowboys in 2004, despite his rapid elevation on the depth chart following an injury to Terry Glenn. During the following offseason, Morgan performed poorly in an unexpected depth chart battle against Patrick Crayton and Parcells began to perceive him as uncompetitive. He was released in order for the Cowboys to pick up Peerless Price off of waivers and was later signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers. During the 2005 regular season, Morgan recorded 9 receptions for 150 yards and 2 touchdowns. On September 3, 2006, Morgan was cut by the Steelers, along with 21 other players, as the team reached its final roster. Morgan then signed with the Broncos on September 18 as a backup wide receiver.

[edit] High School career

At South Garland High School, Morgan lettered three times in football. As a senior, he was an All-Conference, All-State, and All-America selection, as well as the Team's Most Valuable Player. As a junior, he won All-State honors from The Dallas Morning News.

[edit] College career

Morgan spent 2 years at Blinn Community College in Brenhem, Texas, before taking over the wide receiver records at Kansas State University. Morgan only played 2 seasons as a Wildcat but ended as one of seven players in school history to catch over 100 passes. Also was one out of four Wildcats to end with over 2,000 receiving yards. He'll go down in Wildcat history as the ONLY Wildcat to reach 1,000 receiving yards in two consecutive seasons. Morgan ended his college experience as #6 on the Wildcat receiving list.
