In spite of playing for the '85 and '86 Bears, Payton did play for a lot of rather average Bears teams. I pretty much agree with Matty's list. I'm going to tweak it just a bit.
1. Payton: Just seemed so genuine. A better person than player, and considering his skills that's saying a lot. Still can't believe Fridge got the carry for the touchdown in SB XX instead of Walter.
2. Sanders: Michelangelo in cleats. Nothing compared to watching him
3. Jim Brown: I really can't put him higher since I never saw him play
4. OJ Simpson: Yes. There was a time when he was known for his slashing skills on the field.
5. Emmitt Smith: True he was on a very talented team, but like Matty says you've got to give him his props.
