Eric Dickerson

---

Eric Dickerson was selected second overall in the 1983 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams. An immediate success, he established rookie records for most rushing attempts (390), most rushing yards gained (1,808), and most touchdowns rushing (18), including another two receiving touchdowns. His efforts earned him All-Pro, Pro Bowl, Player of the Year, and Rookie of the Year Honors.

In his second season, Dickerson continued his onslaught on the NFL record book becoming a member of the 2000 rushing yards club. Twelve times in 1984 he gained more than 100 yards rushing, breaking the record of 100-yard games in a season held by O.J. Simpson. His 2,105 total yards rushing beat Simpson’s 1973 NFL season record of 2,003 yards. No one has since rushed for more yards in a single NFL season. Dickerson retired from the NFL as the 2nd leading rusher of all-time and in 1999 he was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Dickerson recently release his autobiography, Watch My Smoke. For the first time, he’s telling his story, his way. You can also tune into AM radio to hear Eric on IHeart Radio or check him out on the Ram's sidelines.
Eric’s greatest pride and greatest work is his three beautiful children. Erica (31), Keri (13) & Dallis (6).
