Campbell had my personal favorite style. The violence of his running was astonishing.

The top fives that have been posted are hard to argue with. I'll say Jamaal Charles actually has a chance to be top 5 before it's all said and done. He's averaged almost 6 ypc. in this era and is one of the better receiving RBs that have existed.

I also find it weird that LT gets no love here, but I know a lot of people hold his playoff performances against him.

This is the "greatest" after all. Not sure many people think he is better than Sanders, Payton, Brown, etc.

That being said, I love him. I saw him play in a bowl game in college and was a fan ever since.

What????!!! But you listed Jim Brown as number 3. Brown kicked one woman down stairs and threw another off a balcony. He's basically beaten every woman he has ever had a serious relationship with.
I meant from a "lost time while in prime" standpoint, not a moral standpoint.
Yeah. That makes sense. :oops:

Jerry Glanville used to call Patriots pre-season games, and I still quote him at least once a week: whenever someone gets lit up and their helmet comes off, I say: "After a hit like that, you better look up and make sure your head's not in the helmet."

So needless to say, this resulted in me watching Barry Sanders highlights. and it is an abomination how many of them are overedited or rely so much on clcihe soundtracks or the same 3 runs (against the pats, bears, cowboys). Then I found this one. Its long, but it has the original audio and is ones you havent seen on every highlight package

I'm not saying he's the best or even top 5, but I want to give some love to Marshall Faulk.

Do we need to start a "Give Love to guys who aren't the best or even top 5 RB of all time" thread.
