Born on March 1, 1961, Rozier first gained attention during his college football career. He began at Coffeyville Community College before transferring to the University of Nebraska, where he became a standout player for the Cornhuskers. His exceptional performance in college football culminated in winning the prestigious Heisman Trophy in 1983, an award given to the most outstanding player in college football.

Rozier's professional career began in the USFL, where he played for the Pittsburgh Maulers and the Jacksonville Bulls.

After the USFL folded, Rozier transitioned to the NFL, where he played for the Houston Oilers and the Atlanta Falcons. His NFL career spanned seven seasons, from 1985 to 1991, during which he demonstrated his skills as a reliable and powerful running back.

His ability to contribute both as a runner and a receiver made him a valuable asset to his teams. Rozier's career totals include over 4,000 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns, solidifying his place as a consistent performer in the NFL. His contributions to the game were recognized when he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2006, honoring his outstanding achievements at the University of Nebraska.

Rozier's legacy in football is defined by his college dominance and his ability to transition to the professional ranks. His Heisman Trophy win and College Football Hall of Fame induction are testaments to his impact on the sport. Today, Rozier is remembered as one of the great running backs of his era, particularly for his contributions to Nebraska's storied football program and his time in both the USFL and NFL.
