While the headline says 1978, the interview you can listen to below is with NFL and College Football Hall of Fame running back Earl Campbell in 2017 when I was writing my book High School Football in Texas – Amazing High School Football Stories from the Greatest Players of Texas.
The No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft talks about his high school career at John Tyler High School in Texas and his life-long relationship with Coach Ken Dabbs, the man who recruited him to go to the University of Texas.
This is the entire interview, which has never been heard before. Hope you enjoy.
