Some head scratchers on here for sure. I am guessing some of these numbers were never or seldom used. Thoughts?
31

#1 will be Tua in 5 years.

They misspelled Burrow.

Gonzalez over Irving should make this an interesting thread.

When i think of 5, its Paul Hornung and that Packers sweep.

Chase has an opportunity

Davante Adams will pass Philip Rivers.
Patrick Mahomes will pass Bart Starr.
Dan Fouts over Otto Graham is absurd.

Ladainian Tomlinson has at least an argument for #21

Fran Tarkenton or Eli Manning? I'm somewhat serious. Tarkenton couldn't win the big game. Manning did. Twice.

There has to be a better #2 somewhere right?

Recency bias is strong with this. Outside of a few exceptions that simply can’t be ignored (Bednarik, Butkus) it’s a Super Bowl Era list. Billy White Shoes Johnson picked for #81 over Dick Night Train Lane is stupid. #45 probably should be Emlen Tunnell over Kenny Easley. Fouts as #14 instead of Otto Graham or Don Hutson?

Number 93 should be Dwight Freeney instead of John Randle.

I think a serious argument could be made for Marshall Faulk over Adrian Peterson, and that's not taking anything away from Peterson.

#54 - I'd have to go with Hall of Famer Randy White

There are arguments to be made for nearly every number, and #74 doesn’t jump out at first, but three of the best players in NFL history have worn 74.
Bob Lily:
7x All Pro
2x All Pro second team
11x Pro Bowler
1960’s All Decade Team
1970’s All Decade Team
75th Anniversary All NFL
100th Anniversary All NFL
Played in 196 consecutive regular season games. Only missed one game in his career. Known as Mr. Cowboy, and the anchor of the Doomsday Defense. He was the first draft pick in franchise history. No other Cowboy has ever worn #74, and it’s the only number officially retired by the Cowboys. He’s still widely considered the best player in franchise history
Merlin Olsen:
5x All Pro
5x All Pro second team
14x Pro Bowler
NFL Rookie of the Year
1960’s All Decade Team
1970’s All Decade Team
75th Anniversary All NFL
100th Anniversary All NFL
Played in over 200 games for the Rams, only missing two due to injury. A member of the famed Fearsome Foursome defensive line. He made the Pro Bowl for 14 consecutive seasons.
#74 Bruce Matthews:
7x All Pro
2x All Pro second team
14x Pro Bowler
1990’s All Decade Team
100th Anniversary All NFL
Played nearly 300 games with the Oilers/Titans franchise, never missed a game, and started 229 consecutive games. Matthews is the best player in franchise history. He started at every position on the offensive line over his 19 year career.
The three played a combined 48 seasons, 700 games, while only missing a total of three games.

41 is joke. The only thing Eugene Robinson is better at than Alvin Kamara is soliciting hookers

Cutler #6? Christ, Bubby Brister was better than him
