who am i? (answered)

[Dr. Duran Duran]

I won the Walter Payton Award as the nation's top Division 1-AA player. I was also the first player in Division 1-AA history to record more than 1,000 yards rushing in four seasons. Sadly, with all of these accomplishments, I didn't even get drafted on the first day of the NFL Draft I declared eligible for. Who am I?

Yea, I suppose. I tried many different search combinations, to no avail. This is a toughie. Can you give us a rough time period?

Here's a hint...he currently plays in the NFL, but not at the running back position.
