My Take
Earl Campbell is, to me, the purest expression of football as collision. The "Tyler Rose" out of Texas ran with a punishing power that broke tackles and defined an era, yet he gave the game only eight NFL seasons, mostly with the Houston Oilers, before earning his Hall of Fame place. I'm drawn to that trade-off: he ran all-out every down knowing his body would pay for it, choosing intensity over longevity. That kind of total commitment is what greatness actually costs. Campbell didn't preserve himself, he spent himself, and the legend endures because of it.
