NFL.com's top 100

I'm glad they put Reggie White in the Top-10 and that he was the highest rated lineman. I'll never forget him stripping Doug Williams and returning the ball 70 yards for a TD. He must have been the fastest 300 lb man on the planet, and damn near the strongest too. A perfect storm for rushing the QB and stuffing the run.

The 4 best defensive players I've ever seen (can't count the old guys since i didn't see them play) are:

Jack Lambert
Joe Greene
Lawrence Taylor
Reggie White

As did Simpson and Sanders.

yes and no, both had the benifit of playing longer seasons for stats had it not been for a knee injury G Sayers would have out run both of them.

I meant the fact that those two did what they did essentially without any supporting talent around them. Brown actually played for 9 years Vs Sanders playing 10 years and only averaged 5 more yards a game whereas Sayers averaged 28 yards less a game than Brown. All 3 were rare specimens at the RB position, but I think Brown and Sanders were more natural rbs whereas Sayers more so was a beast in the openfield like in the return game.

Can't argue .I am lucky enought to say I got to see all 3 play.....but I will admit I was really (really) young when I saw Jim Brown...was a pre season game.

Reggie WhiteI would say that Taylor and White were the greatest defensive players that I've ever seen, but of course, I saw quite a bit of them vs. the Skins. I can't imagine that another NFL defender forced more fumbles than LT.
