O.J. Simpson had a lot of accomplishments during his football career, here is a look back at them all
Over time, former running back O.J. Simpson has become famous for far more than what he originally set out to be. Simpson tragically passed away on April 10, 2024, from a battle with prostate cancer. He was 76 years of age at the time of his passing.
Simpson fell into multiple bouts of legal trouble, most notably being acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman in 1994. The trial was very public and Simpson never lived it down. He also was arrested in Las Vegas in 2007, being charged with armed robbery and kidnapping. Simpson was sentenced to 33 years in prison but was released on early parole in 2021.
While these are instances that the public may remember Simpson the most, his accomplishments on the football field can’t be overstated. He is regarded as one of the best running backs of all time, both at the collegiate and professional level.
Simpson attended USC for college, where he would go on to break all sorts of records with the Trojans. He played two years at USC, racking up 3,423 yards and 36 touchdowns during that time.
