No way, misses way too many kicks. Not even in my Top 10. He makes some long kicks but hell, Phil Dawson from the Browns had more 50 yarders than Sea Bass last year.

If Adrian Peterson comes back to form he can for sure be mentioned too.

Fair points, but Sea Bass might hang around for another 10-20 years and run right past the Andersons.

No way. This might be the toughest top 3 to reach.

Brown, Payton, Sanders...Thats just a start.

Top 3 is quite a feat. There aren't many.

Manning
Brady

Moss
Owens

Tony Gonzalez

The only defensive player worthy of mentioning is Ed Reed IMO.

That's it.

Brees will jump to 7th all time in passing yards if he throws for another 5k; he could make a late push. Brady is almost 1k behind him.

No active RBs are even in the top 20 in rushing all time. I don't see any HOF backs.

Moss, Owens, Gonz are all top 10 in receiving.

I kige Polamalu.

A lot of people don't see him as being quite at the level of the other great safeties, but all you have to do is compare the Steelers with him to the Steelers without him during his career. Very few players in the history of the NFL have made that much of a difference.

Aaron Rodgers will be the GOAT if he continues his current level of play for the rest of his career.

Peyton Manning, Tony Gonzalez and maybe Ray Lewis, thats it. In a couple of years we can replace Gonzalez and Lewis with Gronkowski and Willis.

Forgot Shane Lechler the greatest punter ever.

You think that its that at the end of his career he could be considered Top 3?

4-5 more good years and 1-2 Superbowls and he will be considered #1 even though Montana is the GOAT.
