Ever heard of him? My Preacher in Opelika who is from Texas originally told as part of his Sermon about living next door to a guy who played on the same team with him at University of Texas. The neighbor spoke of how as a running back Earl was just brutally physical. I watched a couple YouTube videos of him playing....AMAZING!! He was 5'-11" tall....weighed 230 pounds....his thighs were 36" in Circumference! Some of those plays he just literally RAN OVER opposing players!! He was #34....same as Bo Jackson....bet there is a connection there. Couple times he would have 2 guys trying to bring him down and he would still get 3 or 4 extra yards. He went on to play for the Oilers.
