Michael Wiley (American football)

[1] He scored touchdowns the first three times he touched the ball as a collegian, while playing against Rice in 1996 (a 49-yard reverse run and receptions of 51 and 60 yards).

As a junior, he earned the starter tailback job, rushing for 1,258 yards (second in the conference) on 198 carries for a 6.2-yard average and 10 touchdowns.

[5] The experiment didn't last long and he was named the third-string running back in December, after the release of Chris Warren.

[7] He continued as the team's third-down back, averaging 8.9 yards from scrimmage every time he touched the football.

In 2003, after the Cowboys hired new head coach Bill Parcells, Wiley missed valuable preseason time with a rotator cuff injury.

On August 25, he was waived after being passed for the third-down back role by Aveion Cason.

[8] Since his retirement from professional football, Wiley has been active in the Ohio Democratic Party.
