  4. "Earl Campbell was better"? I'd have to ask if his mother wrote that but I'm sure she knew how to spell their name.

    Everyone knows what Walter did as a running back (all pro more seasons than Campbell even played). But he also lined up at quarterback, wide receiver, played on special teams, in addition to being the emergency punter and kicker.

    Bo Jackson was a great athlete but had too much trouble staying healthy.

  5. While I don't disagree with this going to Payton, I would have liked some mention of Nolan Ryan here.
