Since its inception, the Childress Foundation has provided over $1.7 million in college scholarships and has benefited more than 1,300 students.
Childress is perhaps best known for his huge plays in crucial moments of games. In 1988, Childress had seven fumble recovery records that were two short of the NFL single season record. Three of them came in the Oilers’ 41-17 win over the Redskins. This was broadcast on ESPN on October 30, 1988. Childress was the core of a formidable defensive unit that saw Houston reach seven consecutive playoffs. He was widely considered to be the greatest defensive tackle in football during his prime.
Childress was equally effective against the pass and the run. Childress finished his Oiler career second in quarterback sacks and sixth in tackles. He was joined by Elvin Bethea in the top 10 Oilers defensive linemen in each category. Childress was either the leader or shared the team’s sack lead between 1986-1989. He also finished 1992 with the most single-season defensive tackle sacks (13) Childress had 13 multi-sack games over his 11-year-long career.
After five seasons as the Oilers’ defensive end, Childress moved to defensive tackle in 1990 when defensive coordinator Jim Eddy switched from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3 scheme, necessitating an extra lineman. Childress was already a Pro Bowl end and had even filled in at nose guard on occasion. After the move, he would end up as a Pro Bowl selection in Hawaii four more times as a defensive tackle. As a testament to his excellence, four of the eight lowest single- season rushing totals allowed in Oilers history came between 1990 and 1993, with Childress at tackle.
