Ricky Watters (born April 7, 1969) is a former American Football running back who played for the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, and finally the Seattle Seahawks. Watters played college football at the University of Notre Dame.

Despite his sometimes brash personality, Watters had an outstanding football career. He was the first running back to rush for over 1000 yards in a season for 3 separate teams, he finished his NFL career with 10,643 yards rushing and 4248 yards receiving, as well as 91 touchdowns in regular season play.

Watters gained notoriety in Philadelphia for his infamous line "For who? For what?" after his first game as an Eagle on September 3, 1995 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when he stopped short on a passing route to avoid contact (the Buccaneers' 21-6 victory in the game was their first in a game played both outdoors and on artificial turf since their 1980 opener and snapped a 27-game losing streak for them in that situation).

On January 29, 1995, Watters scored 3 touchdowns in San Francisco's Super Bowl XXIX 49-26 victory over the San Diego Chargers. He also shares the postseason record for rushing touchdowns in a game, with 5 against the New York Giants in a January 1994 playoff game.

Ricky Watters is the epitome of a running back in a "West Coast Offense", gaining over 1,500 total yards in 7 consecutive seasons. Additionally, Ricky is one of only 5 players in NFL history to average over 100 total yards/per game over a career.
