John David Crow (born July 8, 1935, in Marion in Union Parish, Louisiana) was the Heisman Trophy winner and running back from Texas A&M University in 1957. He was not one of the "Junction Boys," but played for Bear Bryant at Texas A&M and later played professional football for the Chicago & St. Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers between 1958 and 1968. Crow received the annual "Len Eshmont Award" on two occasions, 1966 and 1967. This award is voted by the players to the 49er who best exemplifies the “inspirational and courageous play” of Len Eshmont.
A street on the campus of Texas A&M University adjacent to Kyle Field is named after him.
Crow grew up in Springhill in northern Webster Parish near the Arkansas state line.
