DID YOU KNOW?? Another adoptee, Hall of Fame running back, Eric Dickerson, who holds the current record for single-season NFL rushing record of 2,105 yards since 1984, was most recently in the news because his record was almost broken by Adrian Peterson on December 30, 2012. Eric posted a picture on Twitter of him and his son with the caption “Daddy keeps the record!!!!! My son will break one day.” Colts fans may remember Eric for the short period he played for Indianapolis (where MLJ Adoptions is located) after being traded by the Rams in one of the biggest trades ever in the NFL. He only ended up playing nine games for the Indianapolis Colts but he helped lead them to their first winning season in ten years. Eric was born on September 2, 1960, in Sealy, Texas, to Helen Johnson and was adopted by his great-great aunt Viola Dickerson. He continues to be close with his birth mother but calls Viola “mama” and she has been a great influence in his life.
