Billy Canon was bigger, faster, and stronger than everyone on your lust except Fournette. He is definitely top 5 - probably #2.

It's generally silly to compare backs going back to the 50s but Cannon was the size (or close) of a lot of linemen in that day and was obviously fast. Not saying he should be in the top 5 but he deserves his due. He was a physical freak

Meh - Cannon was probably bigger than Faulk and Hilliard - but those short cats were thick when playing. As far as strength? I think Faulk may have been the strongest, yet lightest of that group. Hilliard wasn't a huge back, but was also very strong.
Cannon's problem was football. If he had been 10 pounds lighter, he would have likely have made the Olympic team in the 100. If he had been 10 pounds heavier, he likely would have made the Olympic team in the shot put. Frankly, at his football size, he should have been a decathlete - but that's way too much work.
Plus, he was a natural at football. But 6' and change, 200 to 205 lbs just isn't that big by modern standards.
