#33 Errict Undra Rhett, from Pembroke Pines, Florida, picked up right where Emmitt left off as tailback during Steve Spurrier‘s triumphant return to Gainesville as savior and head ball coach. Even though it was rumored that Spurrier wanted a pass-happy offense, Errict broke Emmitt’s career rushing record with 4,163 rushing yards, and finished with 34 rushing touchdowns, 1,230 receiving yards, and two touchdown receptions. (Yeah, I know, he did it in four years, not three.) Few fans thought Errict could surpass Emmitt, or the presumed starter, Willie McClendon, due to his early habit of fumbling. Errict's fear of fumbling drove him to work extra drills to minimize the chance of fumbling, which eventually led to him surpassing Willie on the depth chart. Once he gained the starting role, Errict’s consistent running and low fumble rate helped the mighty Gators win the 1991 and 1993 SEC Championship Game. He was MVP of the 1994 Sugar Bowl in their victory over West Virginia, First-team All-SEC (1991 and 1993), and First-team All-American (1993). He graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Florida.
Errict was a second-round draft pick for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 1994 NFL Draft. He played for the Buccaneers until 1997 before being traded to the Baltimore Ravens. His NFL career ended in 2000 when the Cleveland Browns waived him before the 2001 season. He finished his NFL career with 4,143 yards in 1,174 attempts and 32 touchdowns.
After football, Rhett settled down with his family in South Florida and established himself as CEO of Errict Rhett Custom Homes and the Erric Rhett Foundation (for underprivileged children). Errict was inducted by the University of Florida Athletic Association as a Gator Great in 2005, and the Florida-Georgia Hall of Fame.
