Eddie George not in the honorable mentions bothers my spirit

can't watch. Bathe dude.

Gore over henry easily,the diesal over 49rs back

All u idiots that think smith ran behind best Oline? Not 1 was a higher than 3rd round pick, not 1 is in HOF. Check your facts. Just had great jobbers who worked great together

I've noticed Simpson was rated lower by everyone after his murders. I don't believe those assessments are objective.

Jim Brown #1. Sanders #2. Earl Campbell #3

Ben Roethlisberger ?

I went 11-5 last week. Forgot to mention

Good list. Some guys higher than I would have them (including his #1) and some guys lower. But you gotta expect that, right?

Talk about baloney. Gayle Sayers was superior to every running back with the exception of Jim Brown and Walter Payton. For a feature back, NOBODY was greater than Brown and Payton who could start in any kind of offense.

I can't believe the wealth of talent they had when MARCUS FRICKIN' ALLEN is relegated to the bench because he's sub-par compared to their other running back. Wow. It would be like "I'm sorry, Mr. Sanders, but you're only #3 on the depth chart behind Mr. Brown and Mr. Payton....."

Brown, and Henry, are the SCARIEST running backs I've ever seen.

You fool! Curtis Martin does NOT belong on this list - I've never even HEARD of the dude! Are you on drugs!? EDIT: Uh, ok, I researched Martin, and he's, uh, #6 all-time on the career rushing list. Ok, I'm off to eat dinner right now (I hope crow tastes good).

Sanders was never solo MVP, but Brown had 3 MVPs in his only 9 years, and Sanders is #1???

Very odd. Some players with a couple of good seasons are in the top 20 versus players w/ complete careers.

Mahomes has started 6 seasons

Best RB of all time is Jim Brown hands down. The guy played in an era where ALL teams did was run, and defenses stacked the box all game long. He ran for 1527yards in TWELVE GAMES!...And then 1863yards in FOURTEEN GAMES! If not for his era having much fewer games per season, he would have single season records well over 2000 yards...more like 2100+. Barry Sanders in my clear cut #2...And had Adrian Peterson not sustained absolutely horrific injuries, he'd probably be at #3 all time.

CMC at #18...then continues to say "just 1 of THREE backs ever to run AND receive over 1000 yards in the same year"

No WAY is Emmit Smith in the top 10! My grandmother could have gained all those yards behind those offensive lines! Quick, who were their Quarterbacks when Eric Dickerson played? Gayle Sayers? Earl Campbell? Child, please.

L.T # 5 He should be #20 he didn’t even want to play in the championship game he left Phillip rivers hanging!! Emmitt should’ve been #2 tho! Barry #1 Walter Payton #3 Thurman Thomas # 4 Adrian Peterson and#5 Lesean McCoy..Shady!! Yeaah

Pretty good list, but definitely would have Walter Payton as #1

Your channel is great, Layne. Many thanks for all of the insight.

Great list glad to see some modern players get recognized I think Sayers & Cambell could be ranked a little higher but still very solid list with good order

You forgot about Larry Csonka, No other Running Back had an undefeated season

Christian McCaffrey is in your top 20 of all time. I can't take youbser

Chris Johnson Reggie Bush Todd Gurley and Steve Tasker

Walter Peyton is #1. Barry Sanders has fewer post-season Rushing TDs than Peyton Manning. There's no way he's #1. If you're going to knock Emmitt Smith down because he of the talent around him, then you have to do the same to Jim Brown.

No chance Emmitt is at 4. You said it yourself, Emmitt has the most yards and tds by a large margin and you think hes 4th somehow.

Jim Brown? Old racist Jim Brown….Youredone!

Nice list. It's too early for McCaffrey or Henry to be on this list. Your top five got number one right in Barry Sanders. Eric Dickerson is far too low at nine he should've been fourth, Emmitt should've been at five, Payton at two and Jim Brown at 3. Tomlinson is at 6 or seven. This is still an awesome list though.

It's way too soon to put Lamar Jackson on this list, and I wouldn't include Warren Moon either, neither of them were 'clutch' in the playoffs. I would go with Norm van Brocklin and Ken Stabler instead, both were much better postseason performers.

Emmitt is the best to ever play RB Work horse Titles All Pros Receiving threat MVP SB MVP All time rushing leader All time rushing TD leader Longevity Nobody can touch that career

i agree that older backs such as marion motley, joe perry and some others should be on the list. going strictly on guys that i've seen, my mt. rushmore would be sanders, payton, faulk, dorsett and campbell. dorsett was the fastest rb i had ever seen, once he hit the hole, boom! he was gone. my underrated guys would be curtis martin and roger craig. martin being underrated is weird since he played on east coast (jets, pats). craig was dynamite at recieving as well as rushing but got overshadowed by montana, young, rice, etc. good list.

Where’s Larry Conska

No way there are 19 backs better than Dorsett - no 20 is a BS ranking.

I will say this , this list got Adrian Peterson f'ed up. Hes Seriously underrated when it comes to goat conversation, hes definitely in it

All of you keep saying Jim Brown is no. 1 not Barry can eat dirt........I know how great Jim Brown was and u know he was super dominant, but he also played on decent teams. Barry did what he did playing for Detroit. He had 2000 yards most every season , but only one got documented. People who seen him play know what im talking about. Most of his offensive lines was so crap sometimes hed have to go 10 yards east and west just to get 4 yards north. He was 5'8 , 208 , rarely had a lead blocker , and many of the offensive sets they used had 3 ir 4 wr , which many couldnt block all that well. Never had a subperb QB so defenses focused in on him. Boy y'all need to spend a day watching barry. And lets not forget Jim Brown was just as big or far bigger than the men trying to stop him , definitely LBs and DBs.

DERRICK HENRY IS THE BIGGEST, BADDEST AND MOST POWERFUL RUNNER - SECOND TO NONE! JIM BROWN IS #2 RIGHT BEHIND DERRICK HENRY! SMH

As good as Barry Sanders was, he was not better than Jim Brown and Sir Walter. 34 is #1.

You are a young guy you should have Ollie Matson, Joe perry Marion motley, etc

Refrigerator Perry!!!

Did i miss OJ Simpson?

CLINTON PORTIS IS BETTER THAN CHRISTIAN MCCAFREY AND HAS THE STATS TO BACK IT UP PORTIS PLAYED 9 YEARS AND HAD 9, 923 YARDS AND 76 TDS

This list is a joke. Total BS

There's a little recency bias on this list. Franco Harris and John Riggins were better than several of the more recent backs on this list. Going back in time, there was Steve Van Buren from the Eagles in the late 1940s, Larry Czonka from the Dolphins the early 1970s, and OJ Anderson from the Cardinals and Giants in the 1980s should be on this list or at a minimum honorable mention.

Got1 and 2 backwards

sanders is #1 for certain

Jim Brown should be number 1, easy!!!!!

Tony Dorsett got robbed on this list.

Mahomes 4th?? Get outta here wit it.😂😂
