It was without question Herschel Walker, followed closely by Bo Jackson. Barry Sanders is third on the list.

Wrong.

Barry was tGOAT.

We've already established he had the greatest season ever in college. Then you add pro in and its over.

quote:

Sanders made the Hall of Fame in 2004, made 10 Pro Bowls (every year of his career if you were paying attention) and was named to six All-Pro first teams.

Sanders had five seasons where he rushed for 1,500-plus yards (that is more than anyone else in NFL history).

His best season, in which he ran for 2,053 yards, currently ranks as the third highest rushing total in a single season in NFL history. He also had seasons where he rushed for 1,883, 1,553, 1,548 and 1,500 yards, which rank eighth, 56th, 59th and 80th all time, respectively.

During his best season, Sanders averaged a career best 128.3 rushing yards a game, which ranks as the eighth highest single season total ever. For his career he averaged 99.8 rushing yards a game, which ranks second all time.

Herschel and Barry can battle for #1 RB, just as long as we all agree Bo is the greatest collegiate athlete.

Bo and Herschel are among the greatest athletes to play college football, Sanders is hands down the greatest RB to have played the game. He dominated on every level, and with longevity.
