Eric Crocker’s journey from tough beginnings to his NFL dream
While the tweet went viral and brought some much-needed laughter, Crocker’s path to the NFL was far from easy. Growing up in the harsh realities of Stockton, California, a city plagued by crime and hardship, Crocker witnessed the challenges faced by many in disadvantaged communities.
But he found solace in sports and channeled his energy into excelling in football, basketball and track and field at Tokaj High School.
After one year at Modesto Junior College, Crocker’s exceptional baseball talent earned him a coveted scholarship to play at the University of Arkansas at Monticello.
His hard work and dedication paid off as he was named to the prestigious Great American All-Conference Team during his senior year, solidifying his dream of becoming a professional football player.

In his debut season, he caught attention with his impressive stats of 70 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries, and 3 interceptions. His outstanding performance caught the attention of the New York Jets, who signed him in 2013, but then waived him during the preseason.
Though his NFL career was brief, Crocker’s determination and tenacity stood out throughout, as he later joined the AFL’s Portland Thunder and San Jose SaberCats, making the most of every opportunity that came his way and making a lasting impact on the field.
One of Crocker’s most memorable moments came during his time with the San Antonio Talons in 2012. In a close game against the Jacksonville Sharks, Crocker’s exceptional play led the Talons to a thrilling 49-47 victory, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure and contribute to his team’s success.
