Fortunate enough to have watched this yesterday. The NFL channel aired this. If you get a chance, check it out.

One of the greatest RBs to play the game.

It was a good documentary, but could have been so much better. I think having the one run where his Jersey is literally ripped away would have been all that was needed to show those who never saw him just how hard this man was to take down, but for some reason they didn't show it. They showed tears, but he had runs where they Jersey just came away in defenders hands.
Probably my favorite RB of all time. He really didn't need flashy moves to get his yards, he just ran you over.
Saw Big Earl play several times when I lived in Houston back in the early 80's.

A freight train on cleats.
