...among his best. Even players seen as evidence of a cover jinx still put up respectable - if diminished - numbers. Hearst galloped for 1,570 yards in 1998, scoring a Pro Bowl appearance in the process.

When we heard soldiers using loudhailers (megaphones) and calling people to come out, I thought there was no point staying here and risking death. I might as well risk death and run, so I ran with my family...
