Clifford Lynn Dickey (born October 19, 1949) is a retired National Football League quarterback, who played for the Houston Oilers and the Green Bay Packers in the 1970s and 1980s.
Born in Paola, Kansas, and raised in Osawatomie, southwest of Kansas City, Dickey led Osawatomie High School to a state championship and graduated in 1967. Its football stadium is named after him, and his number "10" was retired by OHS in January 1971.
Dickey was recruited to Kansas State University in Manhattan, and he soon became the top quarterback in the Big Eight Conference. Following his senior season in 1970, Dickey finished tenth in the voting for the Heisman Trophy and was named MVP of the East-West Shrine Game. His 6,208 career passing yards was the record at Kansas State for 38 years, until passed by Josh Freeman in 2008.
Dickey was selected in the third round of the 1971 NFL draft, 56th overall, by the Houston Oilers, where he played four seasons, splitting time with fellow 1971 draft pick Dan Pastorini (third overall). Dickey started ten games with the Oilers, winning two overall, including Houston's lone win in the 1973 season.
