    Sanders and Payton are my top 2. Both played on average teams most of their careers. Sanders is one of my favorite players of all time. He would've easily beat the rushing record if he wouldn't of retired so early.

    Thomas is #9 and Faulk is #4.

    Faulk was on an offense known as the greatest ever, and won a Super Bowl too ;)

    glad to see Thurman get some dap here the last couple of pages. IMO, he was a better all-around back than Emmitt; Emmitt ended up w/ about 3000 more total yards but played 2 seasons longer.

    Marshall Faulk
    Sanders (kills me to have him #2 but he just couldn't catch worth a damn)
    Walter
    Jim Brown
    Marcus Allen
    Thurman
    E. Smith
    Earl Campbell

    Well, I guess not all 4 times. There were the blowouts by the Cowboys, that the Bills didn't show up for.
