Deduct the question mark from the title, he is. 4 TD passes and 4 picks in one game, led the league on all 3 sides of the ball.

Steve Smith is one of not many that have hit 10,000 receiving yards!!! As hard of a year as it's been for me I still love my Panthers.

Barry Sanders IMO.

Not one of your mentioned players played at a consistent pro-bowl type level on 2 sides of the ball let alone 3. Barry Sanders in particular is a weak comparison, he couldn't block, pass, or catch. Sanders was the best pure runner, Payton was a better football player:

Not even close, just another great receiver without a ring.

Well I think he's a great player... I'm not trying to hate on anyone. My opinion.

Jerry Rice?

Hi Sunbiz1,
Great video and thanks for sharing with everyone but everyone has it's own choice and I like Jerry Rice most and found him in top greatest players in NFL history.

You're right, wasn't trying to make this a debate actually. Although saying Jerry Rice couldn't throw or punt is merely stating fact. Jerry Rice was the best at his position, yet Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, and Payton could all lay claim for being the best RB's of all time. Of course, Sanders couldn't block or throw so one could make the argument Payton was a better overall back...lol...it's a fun topic but a never-ending one.

LOL!, he was a converted track and field guy that simply outran everyone.

That's been the consensus for a while now among many, it's all the other ones nobody will ever agree on. Who was the best DE ever?...or LB??. Those are some long lists, would you take Deacon Jones over a Doug Atkins or an LT?...hell if I know.

LOL!, he was a converted track and field guy that simply outran everyone.

no not really, he played football on both sides of the ball and baseball from high school until he was in his 40s. Not outrunning people but running them over.

Aaron Rodgers will be the next greatest player in NFL history - I'm predicting the Packers will go undefeated and win the Super Bowl <again lol>
