Great post! It's interesting that two running backs are among those on that list (Walter Payton and Jim Brown). I say that because this hobby is relatively down on most RBs -- it's usually QB or Bust! But there are certain RBs who are above that mantra. Payton, Brown, and Barry Sanders, specifically. It's a surprise to me that LaDainian Tomlinson isn't one of those guys. Also, random thought, I feel like O.J. Simpson would be among that Payton/Brown/Sanders group, had he not made some horrible decisions.
Yep, these lists are super-heavy on the QBs, but Payton and especially Brown show up fairly often. I think LT's cards sort of get caught in the nether regions of 2000s non-Brady RCs. You're right about OJ -- he had everything going to make him a modern hobby superstar.
