'''Terrell Lamar Davis''' (born October 28, 1972) is an American former professional [[American football|football]] player who was a [[running back]] for the [[Denver Broncos]] of the [[National Football League]] (NFL) from 1995 to 2001. He is the Broncos all-time leading rusher and still holds the record for most [[touchdown]]s in a single postseason (eight), which he achieved in 1997. He is also credited with starting the "Mile High Salute", a celebratory tradition among Denver Broncos players after scoring a touchdown. Davis was elected into the [[Pro Football Hall of Fame]] in 2017. Despite his short seven-year tenure (with four full seasons), Davis is often regarded as one of the greatest running backs of all time.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.nfl.com/photos/gil-brandt-s-25-greatest-nfl-running-backs-of-all-time-0ap3000000815786 | title=Gil Brandt's 25 greatest NFL running backs of all time | website=[[NFL.com]] }}</ref>
