Release Date: 2001-05-06Life has always seemed to be a struggle for two-time Super Bowl champion running back Terrell Davis. From a rough and tough upbringing to a college career that was far from smooth and successful. So when he made it to the top as a running back with the Denver Broncos, there seemed to be nothing that could slow him down or force him to walk away. Born in San Diego, Davis had the physique to play football even at a young age. However, his first setback came when he suffered a dislocated shoulder midway into his senior season at Lincoln High School, making him virtually invisible to college recruiters from major programs. He accepted a scholarship from Long Beach State in Southern California, but he did so as much to further his education as his football career.

He transferred to the University
