This Week’s Twitch Prime Legend for Madden — Earl Campbell

Get your hit stick ready, because this week’s Twitch Prime Legend is Houston Oilers bruiser Earl Campbell, with an 83 OVR!

Normally running backs try to avoid defenders, but Earl Campbell just ran right through them. Drafted #1 by the Oilers in 1978, he had an immediate impact on defender’s bodies and the league as a whole. He was named NFL Rookie of the Year and the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Year in each of his first three seasons. Which is what happens when you average nearly 1,700 rushing yards per season. He was basically the Kool Aid man, busting through defensive brick walls with ease. OHHHH YAAAA, he was filthy.

After retirement, he founded Earl Campbell Meat Products, Inc. which sells Earl Smoked Sausage and other food products. We recommend buying some of that protein so you can be strong like Earl.

About Twitch Prime Legends

We’re teaming up with EA Sports Madden NFL 18 to give Twitch Prime Members at least an 83 rated Madden Ultimate Team Twitch Prime Legend and Collectible every week from 8/22–2/3. That’s up to 25 retired NFL ballers for you to add to your roster, plus collectibles to jack up their stats to a 90 OVR.

When you join Twitch Prime, you can claim your 83 rated Earl Campbell + 1 Collectible in addition to an 85 OVR Reggie White + 5 Collectibles, allowing you to automatically start with a 90 OVR Legend immediately. So start a free 30-day trial, or link your current Prime account to Twitch here.

NOTE: Throughout the promotion, Twitch Prime Legends will be available to players who have claimed them for 30 days after the Twitch Prime Legend is release. Players must log into Madden at least once every 30 days to receive weekly content.
