===Atlanta Falcons===
Anderson played eight seasons with the Falcons, amassing 5,336 rushing yards, 156 receptions for 1,645 yards, and 41 touchdowns before he suffered what became a career-ending tear of his [[anterior cruciate ligament|ACL]] in 2001. He broke the 1,000-yard barrier in four different seasons between 1996 and 2000. His best season was 1998, when he set an NFL record with 410 carries, and finished with 1,846 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns, both totals second in the league that year behind [[Terrell Davis]].

Anderson was well known for his "Dirty Bird" touchdown celebration, in which he flapped his arms as if they were wings and rhythmically bouncing side to side. The dance has been widely copied; in a press conference Anderson stated, “people break out and do the Dirty Bird in the strangest places.”<ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs98/news/1999/990126/01068570.html | title = Jamal leaves a lasting image | first = Susie | last = Kamb | work = [[ESPN.com]] | date = January 26, 1998 | access-date = April 30, 2007 | url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070223082848/http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs98/news/1999/990126/01068570.html <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date = February 23, 2007}}</ref>
