Jamal Sharif Anderson (born September 30, 1972 in El Camino, California) was a running back in the NFL, with the Atlanta Falcons. He suffered what became a career-ending tear of his anterior cruciate ligament in his final season with the Falcons. His best season came in 1998 when he carried the ball an NFL single-season record 410 times (surpassed by Larry Johnson in 2006) for 1,846 yards and 14 touchdowns. He was just 162 yards away from league leader and NFL MVP Terrell Davis for rushing champion. All of his efforts helped lift the 14-2 Falcons to the Super Bowl before losing to John Elway, league MVP Terrell Davis, and the Denver Broncos. Jamal is currently trying his hand at sports broadcasting, skydiving and wine tasting. He played in the NFL Pro Bowl alumni game on February 10, 2007, during which he scored a touchdown and did his trademark Dirty Bird celebration.

He is well-known for his Dirty Bird touchdown celebration, in which he flaps his arms like wings and gyrates in the crowd's direction. The dance has been widely copied; in a press conference Anderson stated that "people break out and do the Dirty Bird in the strangest places. Somebody asked me in the bathroom. I said, 'Whoa, buddy.'" [1]
