Eric Dickerson was born on September 2, 1960. He played college football for the SMU Mustangs, where he earned unanimous All-American honors in 1982. During his time at SMU, he formed part of the “Pony Express” backfield, gaining 4,450 yards on 790 carries, breaking Earl Campbell’s Southwest Conference record for yards. He also tied Doak Walker’s SMU total for career scoring with 48 touchdowns. In his senior year, Dickerson finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting. His college career was marked by significant achievements, establishing him as one of the top prospects in the nation.
Dickerson was selected second overall in the 1983 NFL draft by the Los Angeles Rams. He made an immediate impact, setting rookie records for most rushing attempts (390), most rushing yards gained (1,808), and most rushing touchdowns (18), along with two receiving touchdowns. These accomplishments earned him All-Pro, Pro Bowl, Player of the Year, and Rookie of the Year honors. In his second season, 1984, he broke O. J. Simpson’s single-season rushing record with an impressive 2,105 yards, achieving 12 games with over 100 rushing yards. He holds the NFL record for most rushing yards in a single season. After playing for the Rams, he was traded to the Indianapolis Colts in 1987, where he continued to excel, leading the league in rushing in 1988 with 1,659 yards. He also became the fastest player to reach 10,000 career rushing yards, doing so in just 91 games. He concluded his career with stints at the Los Angeles Raiders and Atlanta Falcons, accumulating 13,259 rushing yards and 90 rushing touchdowns over his 11-season NFL career. His number 29 has been retired by the Los Angeles Rams, and he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 2020. He was also named to the NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team in 2019.
