Rocket Ismail was born November 18, 1969 in Elizabeth, New Jersey and is a former professional American football player, who played wide receiver at the University of Notre Dame and in both the Canadian Football League and National Football League.Nicknamed "The Rocket", Ismail stands 5' 11" tall and had strong hands and blazing speed on a football field, making him exceptionally dangerous both as a kick returner and as a receiver.
In 2004, CollegeFootballNews.com named Ismail as the #75 player on their list of the Top 100 Greatest College Football Players of All-Time.
Ismail was the property of the Raiders in the NFL, but the CFL had no rules requiring teams to respect the NFL draft. It would have been difficult to offer Ismail enough money to lure him into coming north, but the CFL had just the owner to try it: Bruce McNall, who, with hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and actor John Candy, had recently purchased the Toronto Argonauts. The Argonauts made Ismail an offer unheard of for a CFL player: $18.2 million spread over four years. The average value of Ismail's full contract, $4.55 million per season, dwarfed the anticipated 2006 CFL season salary cap of $3.8 million per team. The CFL had a salary cap in place since 1991, but the rules contained an exemption for a "marquee player" who would not count against the cap. Doug Flutie of the British Columbia Lions was about to be paid a million dollars under the exemption, but Ismail's contract dwarfed anything North American football had ever seen, as Ismail's yearly salary was, at that time, the largest in Canadian or American football history.
In 1992, Ismail left the CFL, and, after the season, signed with the NFL team that drafted him: the Los Angeles Raiders.
When the Raiders moved to Oakland for 1995, Ismail went with them. However, his 491-yard season was a slight disappointment.
After 1995, Ismail was traded to the Carolina Panthers for a fifth-round draft selection.
In contrast to 1996, when Carolina was good but Ismail was awful, the 1998 Panthers were an abominable 4-12, but Ismail was strong, receiving 69 passes for 1,024 yards - two yards short of doubling his previous career high. Ismail added eight touchdowns and finally made his name as a good, if not great, NFL wide receiver who was capable of an occasional spectacular play.
Ismail signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent for 1999 and wore number 81. In 2000, injuries caused by a collision with then Cowboy's linebacker Dat Nguyen during training camp limited Ismail to eight games, and he recorded an ineffective 350 yards receiving. 2001 marked Ismail's last year of professional football, and though his 834 yards was best on a poor team that rotated Quincy Carter, Ryan Leaf, Clint Stoerner and Anthony Wright through quarterback to try and replace Aikman, Ismail was done. The Cowboys, caught in salary cap limbo, released Ismail, and he did not sign anywhere for 2002. His NFL career ended in 2002 when Ismail was cut and thus he 'retired' at only 33 years of age.
