Comment

In the Early 1980's Eric Dickerson played his college football at Southern Methodist University (SMU) in University Park, Texas, where he and Craig James formed a stellar backfield that was dubbed the “Pony Express” (after SMU’s mustang mascot). Named an All-American in his senior season, Dickerson was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams with the second overall selection of the 1983 NFL draft. In his rookie year in the NFL, he led the league in rushing and earned All-Pro and Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. In 1984 Dickerson rushed for a league-record 2,105 yards. He again led the NFL in rushing in 1986 and 1988—after being traded to the Indianapolis Colts in the middle of the 1987 season.
