Ottis Anderson is a former professional football running back who made a significant impact in the NFL over his 14-season career. He began his football journey at the University of Miami, where he set the school record for rushing yards, showcasing his talent early on. His impressive college performance led to his selection as the eighth overall pick in the 1979 NFL Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. Anderson wasted no time making his mark in the league, earning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and setting the Cardinals' all-time rushing record in his debut season.

During his time with the St. Louis Cardinals, Anderson was a dominant force on the field, earning Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro honors in his rookie year. He followed up with another Pro Bowl selection in his second season, solidifying his reputation as one of the top running backs in the league. However, as his production began to decline in the mid-1980s, Anderson was traded to the New York Giants in 1986, where he would experience a career resurgence and achieve some of his greatest successes.

With the New York Giants, Anderson became an integral part of the team's offense, particularly during their Super Bowl runs. He played a key role in the Giants' victory in Super Bowl XXI and was named the MVP of Super Bowl XXV, where his ball-control running style helped the Giants set a Super Bowl record for time of possession. Anderson's ability to perform in high-pressure situations and his leadership on the field were crucial to the Giants' success during this period, and his contributions earned him a lasting place in NFL history.

Anderson's career is a testament to his resilience and adaptability, as he transitioned from a star rookie to a veteran leader who could still deliver in the biggest moments. His legacy is defined not only by his individual accolades but also by his ability to help his teams win at the highest level.
