| 1. Jim Brown - led the NFL in rushing 8 of his 9 seasons. Set the NFL career rushing record while he played. The season was only 12 games, so although Barry may have broken his record of 150-yard games, it took him more games to do so. Plus, i didnt bother to look this up, but i believe Brown has the highest yards per carry ever. but i'm not sure
2. Barry Sanders - probably the most exciting NFL player ever. made cuts and moves like nobody has ever seen before
3. Walter Payton - heart personified. played his ass off, took a beating every game, especially when he was the Bears only offensive threat, and kept coming back for more. and apparently he was one of the nicest men you could ever hope to meet. there was a reason people called him "Sweetness" |
