The Top 10 NFL Players of All Time

Tweet

  

 Since August, NFL.com has been counting down their list of the top 100 players in the history of the league on the NFL Network. Most of us have cable companies that don't carry that channel so we've had no clue this was even taking place. But last night, they concluded their list with the 10 best players -- choose by their in-house panel of judges. On NFL.com, they also polled fans and it jut so happens that the fans' number one pick is the same as NFL.com's panel. Their were, however, several other discrepancies, and about half of the fans' top choices didn't hit the top 10. Those fan picks include Hall of Famers like Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, Emmit Smith, John Elway, and Brett Favre (who will definitely be in the HoF five years after he dies on the field).

10. Dick Butkus — Bears

9. Don Hutson — Packers

8. Peyton Manning — Colts

7. Reggie White — Eagles

6. Johnny Unitias — Colts

5. Walter Payton — Bears

4. Joe Montana — 49ers

3. Lawrence Taylor — Giants

2. Jim Brown — Browns

1. Jerry Rice — 49ers
