Earl Campbell has always been a mythic figure in Texas. That recognition has come largely as a result of his accomplishments on the football field.

The Tyler native was a force to be reckoned with as soon as he stepped on to the grid iron. "The Tyler Rose" elected to attend the University of Texas from 1974 to 1977. While in Austin, he became a star playing for the Longhorns.

Following Campbell's college career, he was selected No. 1 overall by the Oilers in the 1978 NFL Draft. During his Houston career, he became one of the best running backs in NFL history.

And now, his Houston-area home in the 7700 block of Ludington Dr. in Bray Oaks has been sold.

Technically, the home actually sold in 2018. However, the purchasing party did not close on it until seven months later.

An HAR.com listing states, "this custom home was built for the legendary Houston Oiler, Earl Campbell."

If you have any doubt, just look at the giant "34" at the bottom of the pool.

That information comes from Reddit user RariEnzo. On Tuesday, the individual posted a picture of Campbell's perfectly custom pool that read "So my family just closed on former Houston Oilers Earl Campbell's house, tell me that's not awesome."
