    I have your #2 at #3. He is certainly in my opinion the best ever at his position but I don't believe he dominated his position like Jerry dominated his.

    Your trunk is showing. But to be fair, if he's not the greatest, he's on the short list.

    A few; some possibles:

    Jim Taylor
    Tittle
    Steve Van Buren
    Mel Blount
    Terry Bradshaw
    Any number of Grambling alums

    I'm sure I'm forgetting some obvious ones, but I'm pretty busy this morning.

    I know I'm in the minority, but I've never been a Rice fan. Like I said the fact that he owns most of the receiving records is a result of playing 20+ years. To his credit he worked his a** off, kept himself in great shape, and as a result avoided major injury. I guess I'm too much old school. Give me a Lynn Swann, a Warfield, a Art Monk. I'm not a Cowboy fan but if Irvin could have kept his nose clean figuratively and literally he would probably be my favorite all time receiver.

    Marshall Faulk is from New Orleans, I believe. Peyton Manning is too.

    "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to TexasTigers again."

    Don't know why that is so funny, when it should be so sad.

    Bronko Nagurski, no doubt about it.

    At 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) and 235 pounds, in his day he was the dominant force in the league, helping the Bears win several division titles and two NFL championships.

    Nagurski has the largest recorded NFL Championship ring size at 19½. He was probably the largest running back of his time, bigger than most linemen of the day, often dragging multiple tacklers with him. In a time when players were expected to play on both sides of the ball, he was a standout defensive lineman as well. Following an injury, instead of sitting on the bench, he would sometimes be put in as an offensive tackle, making him the only player in NFL history to be named All-Pro at three positions.

    Following his NFL career he went on to become a professional wrestler in an era when it wasn't a reality TV show. HE won three world championships.
