Sultan McCullough (born February 12, 1980) is an American football running back in the National Football League who has also previously been a member of the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League. McCullough is currently a free agent.
During his college career, McCullough was also a standout as a sprinter, as he was the 1999 Pac-10 champion in the 100 meter dash. McCullough is regarded as the fastest player ever to play for the USC Trojans. His brother Saladin McCullough also played professional football.
McCullough attended John Muir High School in Pasadena, California where he was one of the top sprinters in the state. Along with Obea Moore, he led his team to a CIF State title in the 4×100 relay and was favored to win the state title in the sprint events when he pulled up in the 100 final. His team still holds the meet record at the prestigious Arcadia Invitational.
McCullough played college football at the University of Southern California. He was arrested for drug manufacturing in 2000 but was let off when the evidence did not add up according to USC Security, LAPD, and the DEA. After returning to the field in 2001, McCullough bounced back to rush for 2,137 yards on his way to a Heisman finalist season. McCullough finished 2nd in voting to Eric Crouch, who ended up having a miraculous NFL career for the Cleveland Browns.
