For Sale is a Stunning 1987 Eric Dickerson Type 1 Original Photo! Eric Dickerson, with his distinctive upright running style and speed, is a former NFL running back whose career left an indelible mark on the league. Born on September 2, 1960, in Sealy, Texas, Dickerson's journey through professional football is one of record-breaking performances and awe-inspiring athleticism. He starred collegiately at Southern Methodist University (SMU), where he was part of the famed "Pony Express" backfield, setting numerous school records and earning All-American honors.

Drafted second overall in the 1983 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams, Dickerson made an immediate impact in the NFL. His rookie season was nothing short of spectacular, as he set the rookie record for most rushing yards in a season—a record that still stands. But it was his 1984 campaign that truly cemented his legacy; Dickerson rushed for 2,105 yards, setting the NFL record for most rushing yards in a single season, a feat that has yet to be surpassed.

Dickerson's NFL career spanned 11 seasons, including time with the Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Raiders, and Atlanta Falcons. He was a six-time Pro Bowl selection, five-time First-Team All-Pro, and led the league in rushing yards on four separate occasions. His powerful strides and ability to glide past defenders made him one of the most entertaining players to watch during the 1980s.

Off the field, Dickerson has remained connected to football, sharing his expertise as a commentator and analyst. His legacy in the NFL is not only in the records he set but also in the style and grace with which he played the game. In 1999, Eric Dickerson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, a fitting tribute to one of the greatest running backs to ever grace the gridiron. His career is a testament to the blend of raw talent and hard work required to excel at the highest levels of the sport.

This evocative black-and-white portrait, captured by Brian Spurlock in 1987, features Eric Dickerson, one of the most dominant running backs of the era. The photograph captures a side of Dickerson often obscured by his helmet and pads on the field—the focused gaze of an athlete whose vision and determination are as clear as the visor protecting his eyes.

The 1987-88 NFL season was a period of transition and triumph for Dickerson. After a landmark trade from the Los Angeles Rams to the Indianapolis Colts, he made an immediate impact, rushing for 1,011 yards in just nine games with the Colts. His presence transformed the team's offense and helped lead them to their first winning season in nearly a decade. This season solidified Dickerson’s reputation as a game-changing talent and his ability to adapt and excel, even amidst the tumult of a mid-season trade.
