In his fourth, he went over the 1,800-yard mark for the third time in his career, capturing his third league rushing title, and was named the offensive MVP in the National Football League. And if you cry, they cry.
Me and him had an argument one day in his office about who led the league in rushing. Guys like Doug Smith, Kent Hill, Bill Bain.
A six-time He started a sports memorabilia company called Original Mini Jerseys with former Los Angeles Rams teammate LeRoy Irvin.
In his third year he broke five Rams’ rushing records. He would go sit in the stands and he would sit there and read his Bible while I played and while I practiced. The man went out and he rushed for 2,105 yards. I’m like “Oh, I’ll just finish this season out and I can get past it.” Well finally it just got so bad that finally I did go to doctor. In 1988, Dickerson, with 1,659 yards rushing, became the first Colt to lead the league in rushing since Alan Ameche in 1955.The following season he became the first player in NFL history to gain more than 1,000 yards in seven consecutive seasons.
And the last of all, my dad, who never saw me play in the National Football League, who only saw me play in high school, because he passed away. Everything that happens, like I say, happens for a reason. And for me, that meant so much. He made it look too easy actually.
He played college football at the University of Pittsburgh.
And the Diver’s Award was coming up, there was a trophy and everything. I mean I really do understand now, because this is worldly things, it is. According to "myth," Dickerson began driving a new Pontiac Trans-Am automobi “ He said “This is great.” He said “But I want you to understand one thing, it’s that you can gain the world, but don’t lose your soul.” And at one point, I never understood what that meant – Gain the world, but don’t lose your soul. And those qualities consist of the following: An unshaken loyalty to his family and his friends.
I mean, a young guy playing at SMU. David Hill, and most definitely, my friend Jackie Slater. Also, I guess a special thanks to a friend, a young lady I dated for a long time, Miss Holly Frey.
She said the other day, when she was watching the films at the luncheon the other day, she said” Eric, when I saw your films I was ready to go. But I loved playing for the Colts. That’s how history, that’s how life is. Dorin R. Dickerson is an American football tight end who is currently a free agent. Said I had to go to the doctor.
Well when I came up, I didn’t get it, and I just got to thank Cass, that has like haunted me for the all of my life.
But there are few things about Eric Dickerson that I have found to be as consistent today as they were in 1983.
LB | New York Giants
We had an award called the Diver’s Award, that’s for the guy that stayed in the tank all of the time. In 1987, after playing just three games for the Rams during the strike-shortened Although he played in just nine games with the Colts that year, he still managed to gain 1,011 yards to finish the season with 1,288.However, injuries, further contract disputes, and suspensions clouded his final two seasons with the Colts.
And this left many players, coaches, and fans from around the country wondering what might have been if only Eric had remained a Ram. And I’m proud of it.
My brothers and sisters. And last of all, my daughter Erica.
She asked me this question, “Who’s been around longer?” I said “The NFL.” “Well that makes sense, you go to who’s been around longer.” I’m like “Okay, I guess that does make sense.” So that’s why I chose the NFL. At the current time, he lived happily with his family in New York.
My family means more to me than anything in this whole world, except God. I come in, would run the plays, he’s like “Eric, you’ve got to run faster…Eric, you’ve got to run faster.” I’m like “Man,” I’m like “John, I can’t run any faster, I’m running as fast as I can.” He says “Okay, we’ll see.” So after my first game, by my third game we played the Jets, as they showed the long run, that was my first long touchdown run, I came to the sidelines he said to me “Well son, I guess you were running fast.” Which made me feel real proud. Now folks, that is a rookie rushing record, all of them are, that stand to this day. But one thing I can say, after all the years, and you step away from the game of football and you sit back and you get to know a person on a one-on-one basis, it makes it a bit different. Guys like Chris Hinton, was another big guy I loved playing with. And those are people who really care, not the people that are really concerned about that next touchdown or that next paycheck. And I really thank you George, for that. I mean it’s great when you can talk to a sister like you talk to a girlfriend or a wife and they’ll listen.
She’s 94 years old, she couldn’t be here today, I wish she could have, but from Texas is a pretty long hike.
Which people would say that your career could have been so much better. Let me talk about players, lets talk about that offensive line of the Los Angles Rams. Sometimes in life, you feel like that, are you getting a fair shake? Bill are you here, I know you are here, I saw you. People like George Owens, who treated me like a son when I was at SMU. He has a brother, Michael Dickerson and three sisters: Elizabeth Earls, Ann Pullion, and Jane Dickerson. My brother Leo, my brother Robert, who supported me through all my ups and downs. You don’t get 10. Playing for the Indianapolis Colts with Jim Irsay and Bob Irsay really was a, it was a nice experience. And as an older man, I understand.
John Dickerson was born on July 6, 1968, in Washington, D.C., United States. The same year, Dickerson was chosen as an All-American, voted Southwest Conference Offensive Player of the Year and earned third position in Heisman trophy balloting. Now listen, I have known Eric Dickerson, I have known him since 1983. But also, my sister Tasha, who’s been more than just a sister. When I go back and think about people who have really changed my life in certain ways, who comes to mind most definitely, John Shaw of the Rams.
