Doug Chapman (born August 22, 1977) is an American former professional football player who was a running back in the National Football League (NFL). He was selected in the third round of the 2000 NFL draft, 88th overall, by the Minnesota Vikings where he played from 2000 to 2003 and with the San Diego Chargers in 2004. He is currently serving as the director of player development and senior analyst at Marshall.
Chapman attended Marshall University, where he rushed for over 4,000 yards and scored 61 total touchdowns. He was a member of the undefeated 1996 Marshall Thundering Herd football team that won the 1996 NCAA Division I-AA Football Championship Game and Mid-American Conference championship in 1997, 1998 and 1999. He was MVP of the 1999 Motor City Bowl and was inducted into the Marshall University Hall of Fame in 2010.
In his first NFL start versus the Green Bay Packers Chapman rushed for 90 yards which was the most allowed by Green Bay's defense through six weeks of the regular season. An offensive penalty negated his first 100-yard rushing performance. After Minnesota, Chapman signed with the San Diego Chargers in 2004 where he suffered a career ending back injury during preseason against the Indianapolis Colts. Chapman officially retired in 2006.
