Stuckey played two seasons with theNew York Giants (1975–1976), after three seasons with theMiami Dolphins (1972–1974), where he was part of the team that wonSuper Bowl VIII. An eighth-round selection in the1972 NFL draft, he did not play his first year with the Dolphins, but then had to replace an injuredLloyd Mumphord in 1973. Stuckey replaced Mumphord in Super Bowl Vll on special teams. He recorded his first NFL tackle when he tackled Washington Redskins kick returnerHerb Mul-Key during the start of the second half kick-off. Although the NFL does not recognize it the video clearly shows the special teams tackle.
Stuckey reunited with one of his close teammates, Charlie Leigh, in 2002 to do a player day at Shoreline Memorial Hospital, where the teammates walked through the entire hospital and signed autographs for staff and patients. Henry is also credited in helping raise funds for The Dan Marino Foundation.
