Mine hands down would have to be:

Eric Dickerson and Emmitt Smith

Go Ponies~

LT and Adrian Peterson (although he didn't do much in our game)

ED was amazing, but I think I would go with Herschell Walker.

Who's LT
The best pro running back I saw was Barry Sanders

Gayle Sayers

LT when he lit us up/or Line in a ton of games and #22.

Peterson

Billy Sims, Herschel Walker.

Walter Payton and O.J. Simpson

I'm only 25 so I haven't had the pleasure of watching some of the great legends that others have, however when I was really young I did see Marcus Allen play with the Chiefs once... though I couldn't tell you how good or bad he did because I didn't know much then. As for college football I saw Marshawn Lynch run wild against Oregon once and thought his performance was impressive.

Jim Brown

I'm also younger than most of you old guys so my list might not be too impressive, but I saw Cedric Benson at UT and Adrian Peterson with the Vikings.

Earl Campbell when healthy

Eric Dickerson and Craig James

You could not leave your seat for fear that at any moment one would score. Dickerson especially just had that perfect blend of speed and power, and made it look so easy.

college: Ricky Williams or LT
pro: Emmitt Smith
