He has four NCAA records: most rushes per game in a season (39.6 in 1971), most rushing yards per game (34.0, 1969–71), and the first game to reach 1,000 rushing yards (1st, 1971).

He continued to play professional football for six seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, New York Jets, and Seattle Seahawks, as well as the Vikings in Super Bowl VIII and Super Bowl IX. He has scored 13 touchdowns in his career.
