Earl Campbell, one of the greatest power running backs in NFL history, was born in Tyler, Texas. Known as the “Tyler Rose,” Campbell won the Heisman Trophy in 1977 while at the University of Texas and later became a Hall of Fame running back for the Houston Oilers. His punishing running style and dominance in the late 1970s and early 1980s left a lasting legacy in American football.
