Earl Campbell tribute to power backs 

I watched most of this as it happened on t.v. when I was a kid. I'm STILL getting goosebumps.

One of the greatest running backs of all time. He was fun to watch and a very humble person as well. He could run over you or run past you with speed. I Loved to watch him run. Thanks

As I watch Campbell shedding and running through tacklers I'm reminded of all the posters on the Jim Brown clips talking about the poor tackling of the 60's. The tacklers of the 70's were having the same trouble with Campbell that their predecessors had with Brown. Watching Campbell run is like watching Brown; a force of nature. It was a pleasure to watch him play.

Greatest power running back of all time, and it's not close. Loved watching this guy play in the late 70s, early 80s

yes he was a true battering ram, but the guy also had true breakaway speed. he made some great defenders look bad. thanks

The most amazing running back of all time. No one could dish out hits like earl campbell could.

Speed, power and balance, what a combo. A well respected man on and off the field. Earl Campbell is another fine example of a great athlete.

Earl the best running back and powerback of all time wouldn't want another running back in my back field except him.

I was there many times watching Earl run.

he is my favorite because of his style.......plus he was handed the ball 35+ times per game and the defenses knew who was getting the ball and still couldn't stop him. That says a lot about the power he had.

I haven't seen some of these clips in decades. Thank you very much!!!!

Earl holds the record for most jerseys torn during a career. The man was pure strength and willpower.

A die-hard Steelers fan, i remembered him having to face the 'iron curtain' twice a yr, including the playoffs. Dude was an absolute BEAST!! He was one who would NOT be denied, especially in a time when opposition went extra hard, not worrying about being penalized for giving a hard hit, like today where everything seems to be watered down. Respect to this man, the illest cat who ever came out of the backfield. 6 dislikes? Bet you're one of the ones in favor of an NFL ' 2-hand touch ' league.LOL

The greatest ever. The Tyler Rose. There will never be another. He is truly one of a kind.

Earl campbell the best running back/powerback of all time would rather have him in my backfield then anyone else

one of the true gods of the arena.

This video is awesome, it not only showed how powerful Earl Campbell was, but that he had some serious speed and he could cutback too. He had a complete game, run with power, speed, and elusiveness...he just didn't want to be elusive to much!!!

Earl Campbell always came to play hard every week and collect heavy debts from all defensive players. Earl Campbell was not only a ferocious beast of power, not only one of the fastest running backs, not only the most determined player on the field, but he was also an incredibly wise runner scanning all possible moves to advance with surprise, stealth, and absolute ballet mastery when Earl so desired. He would never stop until tackled by half of a defense or he makes a touchdown. Of so many fine NFL running backs, I could only see "Sweetness" Walter Payton at this epic level of brilliance of overall mastery of the offensive ground game. Bless those blockers for sure, but Earl Campbell was a game changer of NFL.

Go Earl ! Earl will always be the best ever to me.

earl campbell the most exciting rb of all time normal guys wouldnt last a single season running like earl so it is impressive that he did for 7
