Campbell won the Heisman Trophy in 1977 and led the nation in rushing
with 1,744 yards. He was selected as the Southwest Conference running
back of the year in each of his college seasons and finished with 4,444
career rushing yards. Campbell was the first draft pick overall in the
1978 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers. That year Campbell was named the
Offensive Rookie of the Year by the Associated Press as well as the NFL
Offensive Player of the Year.
Campbell possessed a rare
combination of speed and power, and was a prolific running back from
1978 through 1985. His outstanding single-season performance in 1979
earned him All-Pro, Pro Bowl, and NFL Offensive Player of the Year
honors. It was also the second of three consecutive seasons in which he
led the league in rushing. Campbell led the NFL in rushing in 1978,
1979, and 1980. He played in five Pro Bowls and finished his career with
9,407 yards and 74 touchdowns rushing along with 806 yards on 121
receptions. In 1980, Campbell's best year in the NFL, he ran for 1,934
yards including four 200-yard rushing games, including a personal best
206 yards. Despite playing against stacked defenses Campbell managed to
average 5.2 yards per carry and score 13 rushing touchdowns in 1980
alone.
