Samuel Charles McCullum (born November 30, 1952) is an American former professional football player who played wide receiver for 10 seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings from 1974 through 1983.

Early life

Born in McComb, Mississippi,[1] McCullum moved with his family to Montana in 1967, and was raised in Kalispell.[2][3] He attended Flathead High School, and was all-state in football, basketball, and track.[2] He then attended Montana State University in Bozeman, where he played football for the Bobcats from 1970–1973, and set a record of 16 career touchdown catches.[2]

Professional career

McCullum was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in ninth round of the 1974 NFL draft.[2] He played wide receiver for ten seasons for the Vikings and expansion Seattle Seahawks from 1974 through 1983.[4]

McCullum finished his NFL career with 274 receptions for 4,017 yards, and 26 touchdowns.[2]

The NLRB found that the Seahawks illegally discharged McCullum as a result of his participation in the 1982 NFL strike.[5][6] In 1991, McCullum was awarded $543,000 in backpay.[7]
