I've often thought that for most people, their favorite players probably were probably playing when a person was about 8-15 or so. I loved the running backs of the late 70s and early 80s.

Herschel


And Herschel Walker should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Agree about Walker..... You left Chuck Muncie off your list, he was a straight up stud when he was not high. Outstanding for a guy that went to college on a basketball scholarship and was encouraged to give the football team a try. What a waste of talent.


There is a guy named Barry Sanders who won rookie of the year in 89 and I'd put him over just about everyone. Does he count as 80's?


Yes, but 1989 doesn't count as early 80s.

This also has to be part of his legacy:

When I was a kid there was a chain of hardware stores called Handy Dan. They had a promotion and brought him in to sign autographs at one of their stores. If I remember right, it was the year he was drafted by the Oilers. He was just kind of sitting at a table in the garden section with a few other guys. There was basically nobody there at all, just him and like bags of fertilizer and mulch and such. Anyway, I met him, and he was extremely kind and nice to the little kid version of me, so that's the way I'll always remember him. He seemed like a genuinely good dude to me.

This just really makes me believe the Adam's family needs to sell the rights to the Oilers to the Texans.

I miss the Columbia blue, white & red.

There have been many outstanding RBs in the pro ranks. However, none of them can touch Jim Brown. He is the best NFL RB of all time !!!
