Chuck Foreman's Message to the Fans
BiographyChuck Foreman (born Walter E. Forman on October 26, 1950 in Frederick, Maryland) was an NFL football player.
Foreman was a standout athlete in football, basketball and track at Frederick High School in Frederick, Maryland, and attended college at the University of Miami. During his college career he played defensive back, wide receiver and running back. The Minnesota Vikings made him their first round draft choice in 1973, selecting him with the 12th overall pick in the draft. He was a consensus choice as the National Football Conference (NFC) Rookie of the Year in 1973, when he rushed for 801 yards on 182 attempts and caught 37 passes for 362 yards. He was a running back during his NFL career, although he often caught passes out of the backfield.
Foreman was named NFC player of the year by The Sporting News in 1974 and by UPI in 1976. He was named All-Pro in 1975 and played in five consecutive Pro Bowls (1973-1977). Foreman had 3 straight seasons rushing for 1,000+ yards (1975-1977) and scored a then NFC record 22 Touchdowns in 14 games during the 1975 campaign. During that same season, he also led the NFL in receptions with 73, a record for receptions by a running back. Foreman amassed 51 touchdowns over a 3 year span (1974-1976). Foreman played in 3 Super Bowls with the Vikings. Injuries plagued him throughout the 1978 and 1979 seasons and Foreman was subsequently traded to the New England Patriots, where he spent the 1980 season before retiring.
His pass-catching ability out of the backfield, combined with the ability to make the first tackler miss, was a key in the Minnesota Viking offense, which was sort of a pre-cursor of the West Coast Offense which became popular in the following decades.
His son Jay Foreman played linebacker in the NFL from 1999 to 2006.
Career statistics:
Rushing: 9,432 total yards. 1,556 carries (6.6 yard average); 67 touchdowns Pass receptions: 350 passes for 3,156 yards (9.0 yard average); 23 touchdowns Foreman is now a substitute teacher in Minnesota at Bloomington Kennedy High School in Bloomington, Minnesota.
