351898
Mark Gastineau of the Jets in 1984, by 22 sacks in a single season.
2557
Jim Brown\nHe was a unaminous first-team all-NFL pick eight times, 1957 through 1961, 1963 through 1965. He played in 9 pro-bowls in nine years and had 12,312 rush yards in nine seasons. and 15,459 total net yards. He is also in the hall of fame

Walter Payton's last year in the league was 1987, truly disqualifying him from this question.\n\nAlso, if the question was from 1980, LT (Lawrence Taylor) would have to be on the list, but his 1st year in the league was 1981, which takes off 28 of his career sacks.\n\nI think you really have to look at as who has changed the game the most since 1985 and here are my top 6, in no particular order.\n\n1. John Elway\n2. Lawrence Taylor\n3. Deion Sanders\n4. Barry Sanders (sorry, Payton played too many years b4 1985, Marshall Faulk may be a better fit).\n5. Reggie White\n6. Jerry Rice\n\nIf you look at the NFL today, teams are still looking for these types of players at those specific positions: A QB that can lead, throw, and run; a LB that can blitz, tackle, and cover; a CB that can outrun anyone, intercept the ball, and play special team; a RB that can be the focal point of the running game and do all of the little things; a DE that just can't be stopped, but can stop the run and the pass; and a WR that could catch an anvil dropped off of the top of the Statue of Liberty, run tight routes, and beat the defender.

That record is held by Micheal Strahan; he had 22.5 sacks not too long ago, 2002 or '03 I think.\n\nIt is also a very controversial one, even today. A lot of people say Favre let Strahan get the record, and if you watch a replay of it, you could see their point.

I believe that was Jim Marshall of the Minnesota Vikings (imagine a guy on the Vikings running the wrong way) against the San Francisco 49ers in I forget what year.

I have to go with Barry Sander. Being from Detroit, all I had to watch growing up was the lions, atleast Barry made me cheer. He was so elusive, so tricky with the best moves that I could not help but love football on sundays. Face it, with a team like Detroit, no one can argue that Barry was the best RB of all time. Let me hit you with so info all you Nay-Sayers\n\n Second-leading rusher of all time (15,269 yards).\n Holds all-time NFL record for consecutive 1,000-yard seasons (10, 1989-1998).\n Tied for NFL record for total 1,000-yard rushing seasons (10).\n Holds Detroit Lions records for most yards rushing (15,269), most touchdowns (109) and most rushing touchdowns (99).\n 10-time Pro Bowl selection (1989-1998 seasons)\n Nine-time Pro Bowl participant (missed 1993 due to injury)\n Five-time NFC rushing leader\n Holds NFL single-season records for most 100-yard rushing games and most consecutive 100-yard games (14 in 1997)..\n 1997 Player of the Year.\n 1989 NFL Rookie of the Year.\n 1988 Heisman Trophy winner.

Walter Payton by far.  For the majority of his career, his line was sub-par and every team knew that he was going to get the ball and keyed on him.  I remember a game with the 49ers and the Bears and the first drive was WP left, WP right, WP up the middle over and over in that exact sequence until he scored a touchdown just as the first quarter ended.

Well, Super Bowl I, in 1967, was between the Packers and Chiefs. Bart Starr and Len Dawson were the two quarterbacks.

All of those were great answers, but im gonna have to say Eric Couch, one of only three guys in NCAA history to rush for 3000 yards and pass for 4000 in his career. He won the Heisman and plenty of other awards throughout his career at Nebraska, then he gets to the NFL and they tell him he's to little to play QB, so he switches to WR and moves to three teams(Rams, Cheifs, Packers) and ends up third string QB on a CFL team. Only person who comes close i think is Ron "the GREAT DANE" Dane with the Broncos

Barry Sanders.  Hands-down.  He ran for 2,850 yards and scored 44 times in his Heisman year. By himself, he  would've finished seventh among all teams in rushing in 2005.
