30 greatest players to never win a Super Bowl

12. Eric Dickerson, RB, Los Angeles Rams

To this day, we have yet to see the kind of numbers from an NFL running back that Eric Dickerson put up during his first four seasons in the league. The second overall pick in the 1983 draft by the Los Angeles Rams electrified crowds and frustrated defenses with his upright style and breakaway speed.

In his debut campaign in ’83, the former SMU star totaled 390 carries for 1,808 yards and 18 scores. The yardage mark remains an NFL record for a rookie. One year later, he topped that in a big way by rushing for an amazing 2,105 yards. That also remains a league record to this day more than 30 years later. After running for “only” 1,234 yards in 1985, Dickerson was once again magnificent in his fourth season. In 1986, there were 404 attempts for 1,821 yards and 11 touchdowns. The Rams were a playoff team in each of those four campaigns, but only got as close to the Super Bowl in 1985 when the team ran into the Chicago Bears in the NFC title game.

Let’s reboot for a second. Four seasons and 62 regular-season games added up to an astonishing 1,465 carries for 6,968 yards and 55 touchdowns. Add in 118 receptions for 874 yards and two scores and you get a mind-boggling 7,842 yards from scrimmage and 57 trips to the end zone.

The league’s eighth all-time rushing leader rarely reached the playoffs in his final seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Raiders and Atlanta Falcons. And hence, he missed out on winning a title despite his amazing numbers.
