I was at the barbershop today and we were discussing (arguing) who are the top five greatest running backs of all time. Here's my list. I would love to hear some of your opinions.

5. Emmitt Smith (Great vision, toughness, heart, and the all-time leading rusher).

4. Barry Sanders (Greastest "runner" ever, but not higher because he wasn't a good short yardage are goal line runner).

3. Ladanian Tomlinson (I know he's young, and it's premature to put him here, but he has the complete package of speed, hands, vision, blocking, attitude, and even his arm is nice when it has to be).

2. Jim Brown (There hasn't been a more dominant offensive force in the NFL that can even compare to his power and speed...wish he'd have played longer).

1. Walter Payton (He had everything!! Played on alot of bad bears teams. NFL defenses keyed on him every game and he still put up monster numbers. He was fast, quick, powerful, blocked like a lineman, and no man had more desire, heart, and work ethic than him. He's the perfect back. He was "SWEETNESS"

I know I left of off some great backs...such as:
John Riggins (Tough, tough, tough)
Earl Campbell (Work horse)
Eric Dickerson (So smooth)
Gayle Sayers (Reggie's clone)
O.J. Simpson (The juice)
Marshall Faulk (Mr. Do everything)
Bo Jackson (Could've been)
Tony Dorsett (I hate the cowboys)
Larry Csonka (Grind it out king)
Jerome Bettis ("The Bus")
Roger Craig (Not in Hall of Fame...Shame)

But this is only the "Top Five"!

Give me yours...

The best conerback tandem in the league reside in the N.O.
