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.

pretty hard to go against a walter payton and johnny unitas suggestions. Bo Jackson would be incredible if he stays healthy.

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.

Barry Sanders


Best football player I ever saw. At the end of his career, he was still amazing. Can't believe he retired when he did.

Exactly, terrible team and offensive line. And he did things no one has done, retired way too soon. If he would had played another 5 years his records would have been untouchable

I don't know why you guys are suggesting barry sanders... all you have to do is watch LeSean McCoy!

LT, Reggie White, Deacon Jones, Bruce Smith, Mean Joe Greene, Deion.

I'd probably have to go with LT.

Johnny U would dominate.

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.
