Barry Sanders? Too much dancing. Breaks the big run every game, but has way to many negative yards or little gains. You must move the chains to win at football. The whole time he was with Detroit they were a very average team despite the apparent good stats.
Bob Lilly? Where would you play him? OLB? MLB? at 260 lbs he sure isn't going to be able to play on the DL.
Offense, I would go with Eric ****erson. I think he was one of the best, though he was used and abused by his team, I believe he was the best pure runner ever.
Defense, I would have to go with a stud OLB, but I just can't think of one I would take. It may just be Demarcus Ware which would be a fun pairing with Claymaker. How about Kevin Greene? Not Lawrence Taylor and thats just based on character concern.
