Best players you've ever seen?

With my own eyeballs, its been:

1. Sanders
2. Lawrence Taylor
3. Dan Marino
4. Deion Sanders
5. Should have been Bo Jackson

Forgot Bo. Man what a tough list. What might have been....

Going to defend Fritz here. There was a point, and it happened frequently, that Sanders would get caught before scoring even after breaking into the clear. Whether his combine time is bogus or he lost speed or others got faster, Sanders got caught in the open field a lot.

Some of that could be that he was IN the open field a lot.

Sanders likely ran the fastest 20 in history. That translated to a solid 40. A very average 60, and a below average 80. Yea, he could be run down, but you always had to run him down.

I skipped most of the thread and will go back and read it, but I will likely take a guy no one will ever think of.

1) Reggie White. Unstoppable. Have never seen a force like him. Because he was so dominant against the run and pass Lawrence Taylor can't make my list of 2.

2) Tony Boselli. What might have been. The only guy I have ever seen handle Reggie White consistently. Injuries ruined his career. Best foot work I have ever seen. Dominant Punch. Size, Speed, Athleticism. Anthony Munoz is probably the best OT to ever lace them up, but if Boselli could have been healthy he would be remembered as such. Scariest part of all is that when I was able to watch him he was still learning. By the time he had it down he was banged up and couldn't stay on the field.

Erik Williams eventually figured Reggie out. Williams was a beast.

Yea. Grab the facemask and pay the refs. Cheater. I refuse to recognize him as any good at all.
