Mack W. Herron (born July 24, 1948 in Biloxi, Mississippi) is a former professional American football running back who played in the NFL from 1973 to 1976. Standing 5 feet, 5 1/2 inches and weighing in at a slim 170 lbs, Herron was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the sixth round of the 1970 NFL Draft. He stepped into the NFL spotlight in 1973, after a short but memorable career in the CFL, when he joined the New England Patriots. In three years, (3 with New England and 1 with the Atlanta Falcons) he gained 1,298 rushing yards and 9 rushing touchdowns. He also caught 61 passes in his career for 789 yards and 6 touchdowns. Herron held many records as a Wildcat and as a Patriot. In 1972, while playing for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, he won the Eddie James Memorial Trophy for being the leading rusher in the Canadian Football League's West Division.
