O.J. Simpson was an American football player known for his speed and elusiveness. As a collegiate player, he was named All-American (1967-68), played in two Rose Bowl games, and won the Heisman Trophy (1968). His trial on murder charges in 1995 was one of the most celebrated criminal trials in American history.
