Earl Campbell
He is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame; He won the Heisman Trophy in 1977
Campbell's impact in the NFL was immediate and profound. In his rookie season, he rushed for 1,450 yards and 13 touchdowns, earning him NFL Rookie of the Year honors. Over the next two seasons, Campbell continued to dominate, leading the league in rushing yards and touchdowns, and winning the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award three consecutive times from 1978 to 1980. His punishing running style, combined with his speed and power, made him one of the most feared players in the league. In 1979, Campbell was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player, further solidifying his place among the game's elite.
During his time with the Houston Oilers, Campbell was the centerpiece of the team's offense, particularly during the "Luv Ya Blue" era under head coach Bum Phillips. The Oilers made three consecutive playoff appearances from 1978 to 1980, with Campbell leading the charge. His ability to carry the team on his back, often running through multiple defenders, became legendary. However, the physical toll of his playing style began to wear on him, and in 1984, Campbell was traded to the New Orleans Saints, where he played for a season and a half before retiring in 1985.
Earl Campbell's legacy extends beyond his playing days. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1990 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1991, cementing his status as one of the greatest running backs of all time. In 2019, he was named to the NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team, a testament to his lasting impact on the game. His jersey number, 20, is retired by both the University of Texas and the Tennessee Titans (formerly the Houston Oilers), ensuring that his contributions to football will never be forgotten.
