Brown, however played when seasons were 12 games long. That's amazing! And I believe he still holds the best avg yds. per carry. Walter played on a lot of crappy teams too.

What was the name of that guy that went "running back" to Athens from the Battle of Marathon? That should go down as a top 10 running back of all-time.

No LaDainian Tomlinson?

LT is a good candidate for most exciting so far...if he keeps this up for let's say another 3-5 yrs. I think he should def. be in the top ten.

From what I read online and in the newspapers, this whole list should be scrapped and replaced with Reggie Bush, positions 1-10. Screw Barry Sanders and Walter Peyton, Bush tops them all.

I know there's the minor issue that he's never taken an NFL snap in his life, but hey, the media hype alone can't be wrong.

Check back in 5 years, I'm sure he'll be on more lists then.
