Wow, Walter P. killed on this poll, and rightly so.
I miss him.
I hate Cancer!
Rest in heavenly peace, Sweetness.
Jim Brown got my vote. He beat them all as far as I'm concerned. If I ranked, this would be my list:
1. Brown
2. Payton
3. Sanders
4. OJ
5. Campbell
I know Smith has higher stats than Earl but those first five years of Earl Campbell he was virtually unstoppable.
I voted Sanders for pure potential and what he did with nothing.. but couldn't argue against Payton or Brown (or really Smith either for that matter).
If we going by potential than Bo Jackson.
If we're going by agility, Payton does indeed reign.
