A {{height|ft=6|in=0}}, 220 lbs. running back from East Tennessee State, Ferrell played his entire NFL career for the Cardinals from 1982 to 1989. He led all Cardinals running backs in rushing yards during the 1988 and 1989 seasons, the team's first two years playing in Phoenix. He was the second player, and one of only four in the school's history, to be selected in the draft and play in the NFL after playing college football at ETSU.[1] Despite a Pro Bowl appearance in each of his final two seasons, Ferrell's career was cut short due to problems with illegal drugs. In 1988, Ferrell reportedly tested positive three times for cocaine, and prior to the 1990 season, he was suspended for one year due to another failed drug test. He never played in the NFL again.[2] On getting the news of his suspension, Ferrell chose to retire.[3] References1. ^NFL Draft History Full Draft: East Tennessee State {{St. Louis Cardinals 1982 draft navbox}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Ferrell, Earl}}{{runningback-1950s-stub}}2. ^[https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE0DC1531F935A15757C0A966958260 SPORTS PEOPLE: PRO FOOTBALL; Ferrell to Miss Season For Positive Drug Test] New York Times 3. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=h6VPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=nSQEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5601,6772655&dq=earl+ferrell+retire&hl=en Cards' Ferrell retires after testing positive for drugs] 10 : 1958 births|Living people|People from Halifax, Virginia|American football running backs|East Tennessee State Buccaneers football players|East Tennessee State University alumni|St. Louis Cardinals (football) players|Phoenix Cardinals players|Players of American football from Virginia|National Football League replacement players |
