USC is known for its unparalleled NFL presence, sending more alumni to the league than any other school in the country. Something a little less known, however, is that the Trojans are represented in international football leagues as well.

Estrus Crayton, a USC tailback from 1991-92, played in the German Football League for nearly 19 years, winning seven German Bowls in his career playing for seven different teams. One of the all-time greats in Germany, Crayton is part of the "Tailback U" tradition as the Trojans leading rusher in 1992 (700 yards).
