Williams also became the first-ever two-time winner of the Doak Walker Award (the nation's top running back) and swept the 1998 Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Player of the Year honors — a clean sweep of college football's major individual awards that cemented his place among the sport's all-time greats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBreaking the NCAA's All-Time Rushing Record\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining moment of Williams' college career came on November 27, 1998, against archrival Texas A\u0026amp;M. \u003cstrong\u003eNeeding 62 yards to break Tony Dorsett's 22-year-old NCAA Division I-A career rushing record of 6,082 yards, Williams took a first-quarter handoff and broke through several tacklers for a 60-yard touchdown run that shattered the mark — with Dorsett himself waiting on the Texas sideline to personally congratulate him.\u003c\/strong\u003e Williams finished his Longhorns career (1995-1998) as the most prolific rusher in major college football history, with 6,279 career rushing yards, 72 rushing touchdowns, 75 total touchdowns, and a then-NCAA-record 6.21 career yards per carry — surpassing the mark held by Ohio State's two-time Heisman winner Archie Griffin. In all, Williams set 21 NCAA records and 46 University of Texas marks across his four-year career. Texas retired his #34 jersey in a pregame ceremony on September 30, 2000, and he was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom College Legend to NFL Rushing Champion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWilliams carried his college dominance to the NFL. \u003cstrong\u003eSelected fifth overall by the New Orleans Saints in the 1999 NFL Draft, Williams went on to lead the NFL in rushing in 2002 with 1,853 yards as a member of the Miami Dolphins, and finished his 11-year professional career with 10,009 rushing yards and 66 rushing touchdowns.\u003c\/strong\u003e Known for his powerful, contact-seeking running style — an astonishing 68.3% of his college rushing yards came after initial contact — Williams was one of the most physically dominant running backs of his era at both the college and professional levels.
