DeDe Dorsey (born August 1, 1984) is a former American football running back.[1] He was signed by the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent in 2006. He played college football at Lindenwood.

Dorsey was also a member of the Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions. While a member of the Colts, Dorsey won a Super Bowl ring in Super Bowl XLI over the Chicago Bears.

College career

After graduating from Broken Arrow Senior High, Dorsey began his college career as a defensive back at Ottawa, where, in 2003, he returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown and was a second-team all-NAIA selection on defense.

After his sophomore season, he transferred to Lindenwood. As a junior in 2004, he was named a first-team NAIA All-American as a defensive back after he scored three defensive touchdowns, even though he was moved from defense to running back with four games left during the regular season and rushed for 842 yards and nine touchdowns. As a senior, he was named first-team NAIA All-American as a running back after rushing for 1,600 yards and 18 touchdowns. It was the first time in NAIA history that a player was named first-team NAIA All-American on defense and offense in successive seasons. In less than three seasons as a defensive player, Dorsey had seven career interceptions, returning four for touchdowns, and blocked seven field goals and nine punts.
