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.
