So who are my top 3? 1-Walter Payton. 2-Barry Sanders. 3-Earl Campbell. What do the three have in common? The franchises they played for squandered their greatness with poor drafting and bad coaching. I watched Barry from his first year in the NFL, absolutely amazed at how great he was. Eminem and others were correct; we'll never see another like Barry. He was truly the epitome of humility. He might have played that tenth season, but playing for such a bad franchise wore him down. Who can blame him? Watching the plays, many of which I recall seeing-were absolutely amazing. But I have to admit, his father was a terrible, mean-spirited person. How that man could believe he was better than Barry... I didn't see him in the NFL and playing sandlot football doesn't make one great except in the neighborhood. Like the entire NFL world, I was shocked and dismayed when Barry left. But, he left his mark on the NFL and I'll always remember him for being one of the greats and a humble man. The NFL has been graced with many great players, and Barry is at the top of that list.
