Former NFL running back Jamal Anderson is a force to be reckoned with. Drafted by the Atlanta Falcons, Anderson dominated the field. A powerhouse on the pitch, Anderson raised the profile of the game with each appearance he made. With a career-defining spot in the Super Bowl XXXIII, Anderson has left a lasting mark on the sport. Now, as Anderson offers his unique perspective as a sportscaster, he has cemented himself as one of the most loved players of his generation.
Anderson played an incredible eight seasons with the Falcons. It was there that he earned the name of “Dirty Bird” for his crowd-pleasing touchdowns. An instant fan favourite, Anderson’s personality shone on the field and claimed 41 touchdowns before his retirement in 2001. In his time Anderson has shredded 7,000 yards of offence, as well as leading the charge in some of the Falcons greatest games. Most notably, Anderson has ranked number 77 on the NFL All-Time Rushing Attempts List. The Samsung National Football League NFL Greats Football Exhibition also included Anderson in their NFL former greatest players showcase.
Since Anderson’s departure from the field, he has established himself as a sportscaster and occasional actor. With appearances on “The NFL on CBS” and “NFL Monday Night Football,” Anderson continually honours the love of his game. Anderson also earned his acting stripes in “Arli$$” and “Dynasty.” If one thing’s for sure, Anderson’s legacy will live on through the most thrilling sport on earth.
