How many do you want to know, and what positions?  How about...Danny White, Tony Dorsett, Randy White, Ed "Too Tall" Jones, Everson Walls, Herschel Walker, and T. Aikman played on the '89 team that went 1-15.  Thanks for the easy 2 pts.

I think TO has the most drops of any reciever this year. Pass to Terry Glenn instead! (Or even Witten for that matter) I prefer Johnson and his dances have to be better than napping in the endzone. TO is the BIGGEST ass

Everyone is correct. And I can not remember their names but several football players have been drafted into the NFL and came back to play after their service commitments.\n\nI did find this article listing players \nEnjoy

Barry Sanders in my mind is the best. He was able to acheive more with less around him. Emmitt had Troy and Micheal, and Payton had great defense. But Sanders was the Lions!

Yep, he as the guy before me said, Marques Colston was drafted as a Tight End because they said he was too slow for the Wide Receiver position. He came from Hofstra University in New York and has blossomed for the Saints. I don't know why he is only listed as a TE, in my league he is a TE/WR. And I have Yahoo. Too bad I don't have him in my league. Everybody is too dang on smart!!

i can tell you that Tye Hill from Clemson is a wasted pick.  He is 5' 8" and is fast as hell, but he can't mark an NFL WR.  bad pick if you ask me....

The shortest player in the league right now is Earl Boykins of the Denver Nuggets he is 5'5" but he is African American.  The next shortest guy is Yuta Tabuse he is Japanese and he is 5'9".  There is like a 15 guy tie for white guys at 6'1".  I hope this helps.  Take care.

Payton was 34.  According to the roster link below, nobody wore 31 that year.  Mighta been someone cut in preseason.

I know the shortest was by a Dallas Cowboy named Randell Williams.\n\nPhiladelphia tried an onside kick and he ran it back for a touchdown on the opening play.\n\nIt was also a record for the fastest touchdown ever in a game.

288 Jeff Feagles, New England, 1988-89; Philadelphia, 1990-93, Arizona, 1994-97; Seattle, 1998-2002; N.Y. Giants, 2003-05 (current) \n\nthe lineman they are speaking of is Jim Marshall he started in 270 consecutive games at defensive end from 1960 to 1979.\nHe was a member of the Vikings' famous "Purple People Eaters."\n\nbelow are the links

The stats point to either Steve Young or Dan Marino......but the BEST ever, hands down, was the great Joe Montana!\nBest RB ever....Walter Payton or Jim Brown\nReceiver.....Easy one....Jerry Rice\nCoach....hmmm....Tom Landry or Don Shula\nKicker...Morten Anderson

I read some of the answers before posting this one, and I must say that I wish some of those Bozo's were in my leagues. What a piece of cake winning would be. Assuming that I would have 3 picks in the 1st 36 picks, I would try to take Larry Johnson 1st, Carson Palmer 2nd, Steve Smith third. If the Question is answered as asked, the top 3 are Larry Johnson, Alexander, LT, not necessarily in that order.

The running back is the guy that stands  in the backfield by the quarterback and gets the hand-off.  He is the one who carries the ball on running plays.  The running back used to be called a halfback, a tailback or a flanker ,  but these days, the generic term is running back.  The quarterback sometimes runs with the ball, but is not called a running back.\n(In the rare case of Michael Vick, maybe he should be).

My Top 5 Running Backs of All Time\n\n1. Jim Brown - The toughest man ever to play football, hands down...he retired at the top of his game.\n\n2. Walter Payton - He is the best combination of speed and power ever. And the best player to play in the Super Bowl NOT to score.\n\n3. Barry Sanders - His quick change style made many highlight reels week in and week out. He could have easily had the all-time rushing record if he didn't retire too soon.\n\n4. Emmitt Smith - A warrior who was the backbone of the Dallas Cowboys in the 3 Superbowl wins of the 90s. \n\n5. Gale Sayers - One of the biggest gamebreakers of all time...a Hall of Famer although he only played in 5 NFL seasons.

Michael Bennett RB Vikings.....4.13.....Once again proves that speed alone does not equal NFL greatness.  The same will be said of Reggie Bush in a few years.
