    Earnest Byner by any chance?

    When you talk about RBs there were plenty of good ones that had to deal with injuries I'll have to think about it.

    Denver RB T. Davis comes to mind.

    Byner is down around 20th, not Top 15....and, I think, perhaps,   Terrell Davis  has already been elected to the HOF....in checking, yes...elected 2017.

    Wow. Thought I'd get one of those.

    I can no longer participate. Having no clue I cheated and looked them up. I am shocked at the names that I presumed to be in the HOF that are not.

    On the Ballot?  I suppose....but he is not in,  And he is not one of the 15....though, again, I think he may be down around 20

    Craig is the most surprising indeed. In the 80's all you heard was Roger Craig this,  Roger Craig that...

    First time ever a 1000yd rusher and a 1000yd receiver in the same season.

    Craig not in? That's lunacy, he was a crucial cog of one of, if not THE, best offenses ever seen. How is Davis more deserving than RC? 

    And one of my personal, all-time most-underrated backs of all time is James Brooks; the rare 185 lber who was an every down back. He was phenomenal. I remember one play in the day playing for the Bengals where he outran Rod Woodson. He blew his doors off. He also played for SD. 

    And no Hershel Walker? That's loco. He was the entire Cowboy's offense for a while, he was a total beast with insane sped for his size. 

    Ricky Watters should be in. 

    The Original "Curt" Warner should be, of Seattle.

    Why not Otis Anderson? Had he not had the career resurgence in NY, maybe not. But he won a ring there and was a key reason for it.

    He was a Finalist this past season.   But didn't make it again.

    Yes, should be in....being #1 on this list seems evidence of that.
