Eddie George, Jr. is a former American football running back of the NFL. He played for the Tennessee Titans both in Tennessee and in Houston when the franchise was known as the Houston Oilers, and spent his final season with the Dallas Cowboys. After attending Abington Senior High School, George transferred to Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia, and then starred at The Ohio State University. He won the Heisman Trophy and the Maxwell Award. Following the season, he was the first-round draft selection of the Houston Oilers. George won the NFL Rookie of the Year award, and was the Titans' starting tailback, never missing a start due to injury. George signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys for $1.5 million plus incentives that could have earned him more than the $4.25 million he would have made under his contract with the Titans.
