Eric Dickerson is the greatest player in Los Angeles Rams history and the NFL’s single season record holder for most rushing yards. In 2019, Dickerson was named to the National Football League’s 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. With an elegant upright running style that produced some of football’s most-watched highlights, it was said he was so smooth you couldn’t hear his pads clack as he glided past you.
But during his Hall of Fame career, his greatness was often overshadowed by his contentious disputes with Rams management about his contract. In the pre free-agency era, tensions over his exploitative contract often overshadowed his accomplishments. What’s his problem? went the familiar refrain from the media. Can’t he just shut up and run?
It’s time to reexamine how Eric Dickerson was portrayed. For the first time, he’s telling his story. And he’s not holding anything back.
Eric Dickerson is a Hall of Fame NFL running back and the greatest player in Los Angeles Rams history.

He is currently an analyst for FS1 and recently joined the Rams front office as Vice President of Business Development. He lives in Los Angeles.

Reviews
“Dickerson scores points in his takedown of a system, then and now, that chews players up and spits them out.”
“The story of a great athlete who deals with the problematic parts of sports and celebrity, and who does so in an open, memorable way.”
“There was no runner quite like Eric, and, it turns out, there’s no author like him either.”
“Watch My Smoke is a great read. It’s the book football fans deserve about one of history’s greatest runners.”
