I would of put Smith in the top 5 but growing up in AZ i hated him my entire life (we hate the cowboys) and then when he came to the Cards he sucked. Therefore I'm bias

I really contmeplated putting BS at the top spot because of the crap he was surrounded by most of his career. He is the MOST entertaining player I have ever watched play the game.

umm no..bo could have absolutely been the greatest of all time but he only played 10 games per year and got injured. you may not be old enough to have actually seen him play but the dude was amazing.

you were 2 when he was drafted. but none the less. he's the only back i've seen in my lifetime besides payton that had it all.

LT may break all the records by the time it's all said and done but he's not in their class IMO. the guys a great back but he couldn't punish a tackler like payton or bo

Running Backs have changed since that time. They are more finesse backs rather than charging bulls. It's simply because defenders have gotten faster so a RB's mentality now a days is to get outside rather than bull people over.
