Samuel LaWayne Haddix (born July 23, 1965 in Bolivar, Tennessee) is a former American Football defensive back who played for the New York Giants (1987-1988), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1990-1991), and Cincinnati Bengals (1991). Haddix was selected to the Pro Bowl in 1990. He attended college at Liberty University.
Haddix gained a bit of notoriety in the early 1990s through his inclusion in the Nintendo home video game "Tecmo Super Bowl." Tecmo Super Bowl featured real NFL team rosters, with player abilities approximating their real-life counterparts. The game was hugely popular, and enjoys a cult following to this day. Somewhat inexplicably, Haddix was among the most dominant defensive players in the game, even though he played for the (then) lowly Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His 75 max speed and 75 interception skill combination was unmatched, and approached only by David Fulcher and Rod Woodson.
