Name your top 5 all-time football players

@Digitalkarma

 LT was better than Ray Lewis @ getting after the QB and there by disrupting the game and keep in mind he was double teamed most of the game. 

@Digitalkarma

 If Barry Sanders ran behind the O-line that Emmit had he might have the all time rushing record. 

You might pick up 50 yards as well .....

Not surprising considering how bad Ravens offense was back then

@Biscuiteater1

Sanders was the more flashy and electric player so I wouldn't doubt that either. Cowboys O-line was a running back's wet dream to play for.

They played different styles, LT was more of a pass rusher. Lewis did a little bit of everything plus "quarterback" of the defense. If I had to make a better comparison with Lewis, Dick Butkus would be it but he was before my time too. 

1) Merlin Olsen

2) Alan Page

3) Dick Butkus

4) Barry Sanders

5) Joe Namath 

This is so hard, but I like when you could hit a QB.

CB Herb Adderley - Packers

DT Eugene 'Big Daddy' Lipscomb - Rams, Colts, Steelers

QB Joe Montana - 49ers, Chiefs

RB Walter Payton - Bears

The entire Steel Curtain defense from '74 thru '79 - Steelers 

Good shit guys ! Glad to see some legend's names again 

Walter Payton

Jerry Rice

Joe Montana

Reggie White

Mike Singletary

@Verdict

 I know seriously lol 

Tough and fun inquiry. Impossible to narrow it down to 5 or even 100. I think you have to go by position in team sports. Too many great individual players and eras. Nevertheless here are five  of my favorites...

1. Tom Brady

2. Joe Montana

3. Jerry Rice

4. Deion Sanders

5. Barry Sanders

honorable five...two dicks for the price of one

1. Dick Butkus

2. Dick Stanfel

3. Lawrence Taylor

4. Walter Payton

5. LaDainian Tomlinson
