Jamal Anderson (born September 30, 1972) was a popular running back in the NFL, playing for 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 for an NFL single-season record 410 times for 1846 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.

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.'"
