One Hokie Gajan battled cancer and Will Smith was shot down on April 9th of this year. Both gone too soon. Most remember Hokie as a color commentator on Saints radio broadcast, but he was also drafted by the New Orleans Saints in 1981.
In 1984, the same season Los Angeles Rams running back Eric Dickerson set a new NFL single season rushing record, Gajan led all NFL rushers (with 100 or more attempts) in yards gained per attempt (102 carries, 615 yards; a 6.03 ypc average). Through 2015, he remains one of 19 NFL running backs to exceed six yards per carry in a (100 or more attempt) season.
