USFL Awards 2022: Generals’ Victor is Offensive Player of the Year

Darius Victor earned acclaim this season for his massive thighs and straight-ahead running style. Now, he will also be known as the USFL’s Offensive Player of the Year. 

Other USFL 2022 awards: 

Defensive Player of the Year: Chris Odom, Gamblers

Coach of the Year: Mike Riley, Generals

The running back was an unstoppable force for New Jersey this season, helping guide the run-first Generals to a 9-1 regular-season record. 

Victor led the USFL with nine rushing touchdowns this season and ranked third in rushing yards (577) and fourth in yards per game (57.7). And he did all of this without starting a single game, as he backed up Trey Williams.

The 5-8, 209-pounder out of Towson also has a remarkable personal story, having come to the U.S. as a child after being born in a refugee camp in Africa. He shared his story with RJ Young on “The Number One Ranked Show.”
