Jim Brown was not only the greatest running back of all time, he was the greatest football player of all time, at any position.\n\nThe only "advantage" Payton has on Brown is raw numbers, but since you said you weren't looking for stats, the answer is Brown. In fact, the only thing Payton has on Brown IS his career total.\n\nBrown never missed a game in his NFL career, and he could have played a lot longer...he retired while he was still a star in the league, having won the MVP award in 1965, his final season.  Brown would rush for 1,000 yards when 1,000 yards actually meant something...it's ridiculous that a player only has to rush for  63 yards/game in order to get to 1,000 yards today, with a 16 game schedule.\n\nBrown was named the greatest player ever by Sporting News in both 1999 (the year of Payton's death) and 2002... \n\nIt's certainly no disgrace being the 2nd best running back after Jim Brown, which Payton may very well have been... (sorry, Emmit Smith is not close to either of them)\n\nBoth players dealt out at least as much punishment as they took when they ran the ball...both were practically impossible to bring down by one man, and they both hit the defenders very hard when they ran...neither of them ducked anybody...

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

I think Gary Payton should shut the heck up. It's Wade's team.  Payton's not the leader like he was in Seattle, even though he thinks he is.

He is currently still on the roster but he is injured.  There is much talk of him retiring however.  It is unlikely that he will be back next season, but if he is it will be for the Cowboys.

Tough question... '85 Bears by 7, Payton rushes for 140.

I think you hit it on the head. Payton was the epitome of a team player. He wasn't the biggest guy, but he used to level people when he was blocking. He didn't care if he was getting the ball or not, he just wanted the play to succeed.

Barry Sanders could have been if he had not been forced into an early retirement. So i would say that it is arguably Sweetness Walter Payton.
