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?

Bingo.

Don Hutson was LIGHT YEARS ahead of his competition at WR/SE when he played. THE best receiver in NFL history until The GOAT came along.

Dan Fouts wasn't even the best QB of his era. Not even Top 5 if you take in the range from mid 70s to '87 when he retired.
