And have them re-live their NFL careers in today's game for you to witness, who would you choose?

Johnny Unitas. He'd throw for about a million yards with liberalized passing rules.

Good question. I guess Walter Payton since I saw Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson.

Not sure how many of the old QBs would make it in today's NFL with the blitzes, coverages and speed on defense.

Jim Brown or Sayers. Sanders and Payton played modern day football. Id like to see some of the old greats compete.

Ill throw in Montana, Id like to see what he would do with todays liberal passing rules. IMO he would be right there with Rodgers and Brady.

Ted Hendricks

Doesn't he still hold the record for most blocked kicks?

My homer pick would be Rickey Jackson

Jerry Rice would be sick with the way that DBs have to play now.

Id like to see what Dan Marino could do with today's QB protections.

I want to see Elway again and how he stacks up to Brady, Manning, Brees, and Rodgers in today's game
