I dont really have a list, but for me it's Barry Sanders. I remember countless times when I thought he would be tackled by like 3 defenders, then he'd spin and there would be nothing but open field ahead of him. It's a shame he retired a little early.
Im pretty freakin awesome........

From what i see, AP is even more talented then Tomlinson, which is very scary.

Definately the 2 best right now.

he lost a step. could be due to an injury or natural aging process, probably the combination of both.

wow, see the hatred there turc? did you see the blatant prejudicial remarks against one of the truly best runningbacks in NFL history? the SHOW was talking about his football pursuits, and you immediately rip him for off the field pursuits. simply unbelievable. very very saddened by this turn of events, you had been goin on a happy streak for a while, but have regressed to drinking the HATERade.

Earl Campbell was a beast on the Oilers, the only team I saw stop him repeatedly was the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Steel Curtain.
