Anthony Eugene Morgan (born November 15, 1967) is an American former professional football wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL). Morgan played college football at the University of Tennessee.[1] He played six seasons for the Chicago Bears (1991–1993) and the Green Bay Packers (1993–1996). He was selected by the Bears in the fifth round of the 1991 NFL draft.[2] He is perhaps best known for his performance versus Detroit during the 1994 season, in which he hauled in 6 passes for 103 yards and two touchdowns [3]

After his playing career ended, in September 1998, Morgan joined the Christian Valley Missionary Baptist Church and became an ordained minister in 2006. In July 2012, Morgan became the wide receivers coach at Trinity International University.[4]
