I'm a little surprised not one mention of Gale Sayers. Properly better than all of them but for his knee surgeries. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a South Point football function in the showroom before he died.

Most, but not all of us, weren't yet watching, let alone betting the NFL in the late 60s.

I won 2 bucks when the Eagles beat Green Bay and Vince Lombardi for the NFL Championship…I was nine years old at the time…60-61

Had to wait until 2017 to see them win another…

I know he doesn't have the longevity, but for a 3-4 year period was there anyone better than Earl Campbell?

Try his sausages, they're pretty good!

Personally the best, most exciting and explosive RB was OJ, he could break away on any run and if he had a step they weren't catching him, my 2nd would be Payton, 3rd Barry Sanders. Here's an OJ highlite reel.
