Walter Augustus Abercrombie (born September 26, 1959) is an American former professional football player who was a running back in the National Football League (NFL), primarily with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
As a standout running back for Baylor during the Grant Teaff era, Abercrombie would leave a legacy unmatched by future Bears.
He went on to earn 1978 Southwest Conference freshman of the year honors, despite playing in just six games.
Abercrombie finished atop the Baylor record books in many offensive categories including yards rushed (3,665), rushing attempts (732), career 100-yard games (19) and yards per game (94).
Following a remarkable career at Baylor, Abercrombie was a first-round draft pick (12th selection overall) by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1982.
