THE TOP 10 RUNNING BACKS IN NFL HISTORY

[TrixSparx]

Where is bo Jackson

[ManowarHeavy1]

it´s cool but Ladanian and Campbell sould be there

[troyp432143]

i think ladainian tomlinson should at least be #10 on the list

[1758game]

lol why not walter has nothing on smith. berry had the best moves yah. look at the whole body of work emmit ownes all the record. more power then sanders the best thing about him was when he got the ball its 3 4 5 yards and up. berry has the most lost yards in nfl history.

look at it this way its 3 and 3 in the sp who whould you give the ball to?

[JGilly420]

Curtis martin? Shaun Alexander? Ladanian tomlinson? Jerome Bettis? jamal lewis? Good list but youre missing some of the strongest links

[gueritoleal]

@JGilly420 They are good players but they don't fit in the walter payton, jim brown, barry sanders, emmit smith category.... not even close

[1758game]

emmitt should be #1 or 2. whats wrong whith you ? you must hate the star

[gueritoleal]

@1758game No way man

[bryceman274]

I admit barry sanders and walter payton where absolute beasts but jim brown was so much better how is he only 3rd 0_o

[gueritoleal]

@bryceman274 He was not better than walter payton not even close, than sanders either

[johnjet19]

Where's curtis martin?

[musicvidsbywillandk]

RIGGINS WOO

[gryermer16]

[menahectord]

Earl Campbell The best Power back in history

[gueritoleal]

@menahectord I agree campbell should of been in there

[TheEj55]

[ballnbanannaboys]

Emmit smith should be #2

[blakopzglichgamer]

wtf u talking about berry shud be 1st if he wouldnt have chose to retire he would have a couple hundred more tds than emmitt smith yo dont know what you are talking about thedwortham

[TheDwortham]

[dcuriousgeorge26]

[babymured]

Your list is friced up emmitt smith ain't that bad he is like num 2 or 3 but Jim brown is num 1 sorry emmitt

[unknownfatal]

Where is Earl Campbell?????!! He's my altime fav.

[imsandals]

I really like the list even though I am a bears fan why is gale sayers in there?

[Icerat360]

Emmit smith al the way #1

[epicpenguin0]

If you don't have emit smith in the top three you're dumb.

[joelmontoya33]

[todvball]

That's a great & accurate list....!!! So who would be your 11-20 ???

[97braveheart]

UHHHHH Bo Jackson!?!?!?!?!

[Reddeadattention]

The first song is by kae wun it's called I'm hot for anyone who wants to know

[grimreaper5787]

1 emit smith all day

[uofm308]

B arry sanders should be first and Walter Payton second

[CoolboarderW]

your

[CoolboarderW]

You should really post you list in the description of the video. Good video though, I gave it a thumbs up.

[aceofspades437]

What about Jerome "The Bus" Bettis?

[TalkingMeatus]

Where the Fuck is bo jackson

[QJLax]

i kno this video was made in 2009, but if ray rice keeps playing the way he does, will u put him in this list?

[Reddeadattention]

Love it whats the song

[NotreDameIsBeast]

Jim Brown is the greatest ever but good list. Has anyone ever heard of Paul Hornung? He was one of the greatest players ever in my opinion.

[morsum33]

Nice Job! Walt and Barry 1 and 2. Perfect.

[Dwattsx]

wheres erral cambell retard he was the greatest rb of all time

[devildog3108]

You forgot number 36 Jerome " THE BUS" Bettis he was deffiantly one of the greats

[Dman9298]

personally i think emmitt smith should be second but otherwise Awesome Video

[TheLastAbacus]

MEGATRON!!!

[Summytyme]

@TheLastAbacus megatron a wide reciever



[TheLastAbacus]

@Summytyme ... MEGATRON :D

[aceofspades437]

@TheLastAbacus Megatron is a Wide Reciever not a Running back.

[caveman9301969]

did'nt see that coming knowing hes a Bear fan but thats all good Walter was good 4 sho, but wheres Bo cause Bo knows and Hershel the only biggest blockbuster trade in NFL history pound for pound Herschel was fastest and strongest back ever. and only the biggest blockbuster trade in NFL history 7 picks 3 HOFs n all same trade 2 words BABY BABY rraagh!

[emitreppotz]

peyton is ok if your going total seasons played, sanders to me is best ever but i loved peyton, lol, i also forgot how much i liked marcus allen's calm running style, was great

[miko4137]

My nigga Adrian Peterson gnna be on this list when he retire

[8socool]

great video, peyton was so boss



[fishngame]

I liked it, but WHERE IS TERRELL DAVIS!!

[miguelporraz]

Sweetness was the best indeed!! RIP

[ljwchamp]

L.T. and Earl Campbell are not on this list

[spudd777]

Earl Campbell should replace Marshall Faulk

[darklord973331]

wats this song called in the beginning

[nicolemariwright]

relly no franco harris hes got the best play EVER

[SgtSlaughter541]

Your list is good but here is my top 3 #3 Adrian Peterson #2 Walter Payton and #1 Jim Brown.

[nickelodeon123456]

yeaaahh walter payton is good

[iWtfROFL]

subliminal message 2:28 keep your eyes open

[pj1994fe]

red grange? bronco nuwerski?

[wufalufogus]

Pretty good .I think i would have put Brown above Barry Sanders though.

[greatnakaya]

WoW... that kinda put tears in my eyes. i have been a Dolphins fan forever, but I remember the days of Walter Payton, and You sometimes forget just how great he was. Although they called him sweetness, he was actually a brahma bull who could take the punches and keep going. I see some on here who are questioning your list of ranks, but I mean, everyone has their opinions. I was just glad you took the time to recognize the ones you did... Be blessed

[kahlilthemonster]

wheres earl campbell

[darklord973331]

masrshal faulk is way better than 7

[TheSDcowboy82]

Tomlinson definitely top 10. No doubt about it. Just watch some highlights from his early years.

[JMathewsMan]

Good list.....but you know that as of now, Ladamian Tomlinson is top 10....replacing Sayers or Allen. Simple as that. And Dickerson is higher than Dorsett...just look at the incredible years for Dickerson, Dorsett for consistent for a long time, but Dick was outstanding. DEFINITIVE LIST:

1. Brown 2. Sanders 3. Payton 4. Smith 5. Dickerson 6. Faulk 7. Tomlinson 8. Simpson 9. Dorsett 10. Allen

[leo50519]

No way!!!

Sorry but Barry Sanders was easily the best ever! What pathetic teams he played for. So bad he quit in the prime of his career. Ask any coach, if they could pick a team like the old playground days, who they would pick as their running back choice and it would be unanimous. BARRY SANDERS 100% OF THE TIME. No doubt. Come on...he played for the Lions for Gods sake!

[KidTw1st]

@leo50519 1. jim brown 2. walter peyton 3. barry sanders - but all three of those guys could be number 1, 2 , or 3 its all opinion based there but if that isnt your top 3.. your crazy

[tmanwright]

@KidTw1st In my opinion you could not be more right about Walter Peyton, Berry Sanders, and Jim Brown. Bro you got it down pat they are absolutly the best.

[NFLFootballRAM]

Hey please help a fellow football fan and check out my vid need more support to make vids. Thnx

[codgamers805]

Jim brown is first

[Reddeadattention]

Great vid i have to argue with eric dickerson though he was better than 8

[KevinDurant206]

1.WalterPayton 2.JimBrown 3.EmmitSmith 4.BarrySanders 5.JeromeBettis(CheckThaStats) 6.TonyDorsett 7.MarshallFaulk 8.BoJackson 9.GaleSayers 10MarcusAllen HonorableMentions: CurtisMartin;14,101RushiingYar­ds-4th alltime..... L.T.; 13,501 nd present.... GaleSayers EdgerrinJames; 12,426RushingYards-11th all time... wish i knew how to make fuckin videos.. get youtubelife correct

[CheckThisOwt18]

Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen Were the top!

[beto55555ooooo]

All i know is that barry and peyton are the best

[801trojan]

You have a great list! I made my list before seeing your video and we have the exact same guys... just the top 5 is in a different order.

[DAAAAAAAAAAABEARS]

WALTER PAYTON



[3000Oakland]

@sportsmaniac247- Im glad to see someone else also knows their sports history, Jim Thorpe is the best athlete ever!!!!!!!

[MyKelvin15]

And to the ass hole who said that was Bo Jackson not Marcus Allen hey dumb ass Bo Jackson's jersey number was 34 not 32 again 34 NOT!!!!!!!!!!! 32 if u don't know something u should look it up instead of making yourself look like an ASS and before u talk bout baseball his jersey number is 16 just for the heads up

[MyKelvin15]

One more thing yes Marcus Allen was a Running Back not a Wide receiver

In college set the all-time single season rushing record with 2,342 yards, 1981; First round selection of the Oakland Raiders, led NFL in scoring, 1982; set NFL combined rushing and receiving record with 2,314 yards, 1985; Acquired as a free agent by the Kansas City Chiefs, 1993; First player in NFL to record 10,000 yards rushing and 5,000 yards receiving, 1995; broke rushing touchdown record of 110, 1996(there u go)

[MyKelvin15]

i agree barry sanders is the greatest running back of all time no doubt if he would have had a team or hell even a better o line he would have broken the record before he retired but its whatever... n yes all these players are great but none of them where better than Barry

[solson34]

... ummm where's L.T. ? His numbers are better than half of these guys

[30293952]

@sportsmaniac247 Im not saying Jim thorpe wasnt an amazing athlete....bo jackson qualified to be a decathlte but didnt cause it didnt give him financial support, Bo had the 2nd fastest 60mdash and fastest 40.... my opinion and research but jim thorpe was the best of his time no doubt

[30293952]

@sportsmaniac247 Nope they even said it jim thorpe was the most skilled athlete, but bo jackson is the world greatest to me

[30293952]

1-walter payton

2-jim brown

3-oj simpson

4 emmit smith

5-erick dickerson

6 earl campbell

7-herschel walker

8-bo jackson

best athlete-bo jackson

[rjrules33]

I love it that the bears always get number 1 for best running back videos

.. We miss you Walter.. :)

[brinsinc1]

Barry Sanders is the Michael Jordan of football. He retired because he lost the love for the game. If he had not retired he would have broken and properly still have held the rushing record. Much respect to all others but they too would have ooood and ahhhhd if they were to sit a watch Barry Sanders take over a game without having adequate blockers for the years that he was with Detroit.

My vote Barry Sanders best ever.

[KidTw1st]

@brinsinc1 barry sanders the mj of football? ... not even close... jerry rice is the guy who holds that title- and before you argue mj had a over all average team with the exception of pippen, and he has six rings because he was the best player who ever lived, that cant be said about barry. hes good but look at jim browns numbers and games per season and how long he played compared to barry (not much longer) and he had 4 games less a season, barrys good, but hes number 2 in rbs not the GOAT

[TheAngeltoDemon]

Bo Jackson, had he not got hurt, Emmit would have been chasing his record. Sweetness is the best ever, tougher than nails, Sanders close second.

[danielmooseyo]

KOBAYAKAWAAAAAAA SENAAAAAA!

[MrMickeyMonday]

lol he said marcus allen was a wide receiver



[choc3408]

sanders is number 1. much respect to sweetness, but barry sanders was a magician with that ball in his hands. just my opinion.

[mothertheresabmx]

3:34 that is the sickest thing i have ever seen in football

[tin1104]

Earl Campbell was not even on here. Yeah, this was rigged lol by Barry Sanders is the sickest RB of all time. What took the rest more than 10 years to reach he did it in 9, and yes he would have beat WP's record had he played the 10th season.

[jneuss]

The list is good... The order is incorrect. Jim Brown is hands down No. 1

[boblicous1]

wut bout cj

[ehsfb20011]

Good List except J. Brown should be # 1 and Gale Sayers should be higher.

[DannyBoyDC3]

no your a dumb ass cuz bo jackson wore number 34



[McVerify]

oh and btw i completely agree with #1 he was amazing and was the nicest person ever and well educated.

[McVerify]

whoever said emmit smith should be higher is retarded he had amazing linemen only reason he did good period.

[suny123boy1]

Jim Brown at number 3 automatically loses credit.

[bigboy1364]

ok dumb ass thats not marcus allen that was bo jackson marcus allen was a wide reciver so if your going to make a video like this do it right

[CBEARSC]

@bigboy1364 haha what! allen was a rb retard

[BaseBallKing341]

@bigboy1364 tht wasnt bo jackson bo jackson was number 34

[bigflu]

@bigboy1364 You're an idiot. Marcus Allen was a great RB for Oakland and later KC ... get your facts straight before you make stupid statements.

[NcPGaara]

@bigboy1364 u know what??? CBERSC is right hes a running back...... look it on the internet if u dont belive it.... and then u can delete this negative comment of urs after that............. i hate ppl like u leaving RETARDED comments........... and search on it before u are saying anything u dont know something ´bout........

[sammyd199418]

@bigboy1364 u dumbass magic marcus was a RB

[ROUSEbryantBAND]

@bigboy1364 dick



[iKiLLBeAnErSx]

@bigboy1364 lol ur the dumbass it says allen on his jersey

[triplecityace]

@bigboy1364 marcus allen is a running back he wasnt a wide out

[justinhippy420]

@bigboy1364 hahaha your so fucking stupid

.

[fishngame]

@bigboy1364

Dip shit! What era are you from? Obviously not from the 80's... HE'S A RUNNING BACK!

[Souplesse000]

You got your #1 right. Payton might have been the greatest football player period. Like the list. I'd probably find room for Terrell Davis in the bottom half for those three incredible seasons and the two Superbowl victories with the Broncos before he was injured.

[dalitlegreenfuzzyman]

you didn't even mention Bo jackson

[kb200924mvp]

good list but i think earl cambpell should have been somewhere on the list. like 9 or 10.

[MrCeej9999]

Good list. I'd always put Jim Brown number 1 though.

His stats smoke both Sanders and Payton.

Probably played 60-70 less games than Payton and Sanders, and has more career touchdowns than both

[captmclain]

good list. My Top 5: Dickerson, Dorsett, Campbell, E. Smith, Brown

[808XXIII]

Priest Holmes Should be on the list

[gifts216]

#1 is Emmitt Smith he has the numbers to prove it. How can you rank a guy that has 3 rings and all TIME leading rusher in the NFL ever #4 come on. #1 emmitt #2 payton.

[MrCeej9999]

@gifts216

Lots of guys have lots of rings.

[MrCeej9999]

You know, Hines Ward was an important member of 2 superbowl sides.

Nobodies saying that makes him better than Randy Moss, who hasn't even won a ring.

[treydagreat81]

where the fuck is ap

[KWelch60]

Great VID, but BARRY SANDERS IS #1

[GOONIEandMacTac]

1 barry sanders 2 marshall faulk 3 walter payton 4 L.T. 5 jerome bettis 6 earl cambell 7 erick dickerson 8 gale sayers 9 emmitt smith 10 marcus allen

only reason payton isnt 1 because i said pure runner not runningback because running backs do more than run they block catch ect. and emmitt is so low because he was mr.consistant he wasnt nothing amazing like barry sanders barry i put at 1 because he played less than 10 years for the lions and ia 3rd all time rusher in career rushing yards

[GOONIEandMacTac]

u right for the most part but where's jerome bettis and earl cambell or corey dillion because he played for bengals most his career but the first year dillion left he want to superbowl

take jim brown and o.j. simpson out and put bettis like at 6 faulk at 3 cambell 7

here's my list with just pure runners

[xXxKinetiCxXx]

Why is Emmitt 4th? He should be a bit higher i think.

[hhwarrior22]

@xXxKinetiCxXx  no he should be number 1

[kitrik23]

@xXxKinetiCxXx well is he better than the top 3 ? no .

[KidTw1st]

@kitrik23 by higher he might mean higher in number like 5+

[hailhopes]

Wheres E. Cambell 

[connerhare372]

dude barry sanders should be first and ricky watters needs to be in there

[MrTheJroy]

Good list! Just take out Faulk and Dorsett and put LT and Cambell

[VictorVKiller]

This List RULES! Yeah, Is A Very Good List.

I Liked The End In The Video...

[Grapesies]

Walter Payton is 1. because he had no lineman

[Grapesies]

1.Water Payton

2.Barry Sanders

3.Jim Brown

4.Emmitt Smith

5.Earl Campbel

6.Marshall Faulk

7.Bo Jackson

8.Eric Dickerson

9.Tony Dorsette

10.LT

[aegisknox]

@Grapesies i don't know much about football... but isn't Rice a legend ?

[92grizzlyman]

@Grapesies Lt is not top ten yet give him ummm oo never haha

[nick46485]

wheres franco harris? jk good list

[itsiverson123]

good list but u got to switch barry and payton

[CleanNasty]

You lost me at Jim Brown at #3

[andreykashin1988]

How could you not include Earl Campbell and LT???!!! Also, although I am a Walter Payton fan, I would still put Jim Brown as number 1, then Payton and Barry (doesn't matter which place). Finally, get rid of Marcus Allen (great, but not all-time) and your list is good :)

[pdummy1000]

1 Emmitt 2 barry 3 walter

[waitandbleed1464]

@pdummy1000 BULL FUCKIN SHIT! Emmit and the Cowboys have ALWAYS had great Lineman to supports him. 1, barry, 2. campbell. 3. walter

[WiltisGod]

marshal faulk and tony dorsett are better than erick dickerson???? and idc what anyone says barry sanders in #1 runnin back of all time. if he played 1 more yr he would've beat paytons record. even after 3 of his o-linemen were killed he still was a boss. i understand y u put emmitt smith up there but i think he's overrated. and i havent heard this r kelly song in forever!

[hakim12343]

oj simpson should be 3

[360SHAZAM]

i think barry shud be #1 i hope u didnt make walter payton #1 cuz ur a bears fan lol

[hammerswack]

So I see that Marshall Faulk is somehow up here when ladainian tomlinson isn't...... It's not like he has the record for most single season touchdowns or anything....

[MarkIra613]

There is only one greatest running back of all time.

Consider these numbers....

104.3 - yards per game, lifetime - an all-time NFL record.

5.2 - yards per carry, lifetime - an all-time NFL record.

8 - seasons, he led the NFL in rushing - an all-time NFL record.

0 - games Jim Brown missed in nine years.

Enough said.

[adamyo24]

@MarkIra613 one of the 4 only good browns players

[xXJustAnotherGuyXx]

where the crap is bo jackson??????

[GeddyRules2112]

The only problem I have with this list is Emmitt being so low. He was a true three-tool back (run, catch, block). Plus he has rings, plus he's the all-time leader.

[NewYorkHighRollers]

Great Video yeah Emmitt Smith is the All-Time Rushing Leader needs more credit then all this crap about his line was the best ever his moves were amazing and so were his Super Bowl Wins!!!

[Dallascowboy321]

Emmitt has to be top 5. Thank you.

[unedjesus]

emmit smith is the best of all time he has broken numerous records

[smoky379]

Walter Payton is the best running back ever!

[Javez141]

yo walter peyton was a fuckin monster lmao! caouldnt even touch em like he a ghost

[gaylo101]

dickerson is better than faulk and sayers is better then dorcet 

[BEASTIExBOI]

im pretty sure Bronco Nagruski was a FB

[qwerty1239628]

wat about bo jackson and earl camblel

[swaggboyeenookiiee]

luhvhh dhixz

[sweetdreamsdude]

if bo jackson never got injured im pretty sure he would be a auto top 5

[DavidJPearlman]

Nice list, and not far from my own. Would have included Earl Campbell at the expense of either Faulk or Allen, and would rate Jim Brown at number 1. To be Jim Brown's equivalent today you'd have to be the best athlete on the field, with unbelievable balance, toughness and vision, and physically you'd have to be six foot six, weight 285 pounds, and run the 40 in under 4.3. Imagine a player like that and you can get an idea of how dominant Brown was in his era.

[theTdawgYo]

this was more a tribute to walter payton it seemed to me tho' :) BUt damn, I got chills! Such a nice tribute!

[phatmeats]

NOT BAD, BUT I HAVE 1) JIM BROWN, 2) WALTER PAYTION, 3) BARRY SANDERS, 4) OJ. SIMPSON, 5) EMMIT SMITH, 6.) GAYLE SAYERS, 7) MARSHALL FAULK, 8) ERIC DICKERSON, 9.) EARL CAMPBELL, 10) TONY DORSETT

[bleebleblabble72]

What's the name of the first song and the artist?

[CBEARSC]

@bleebleblabble72 im hot by kae wun

[bleebleblabble72]

Barry Sanders should always be on #1 on anyones list cuz he did what he did with the lions offensive line. Imagine if he had emmit Smith's line? But this is a good list. And Jim brown can be #1 as well with Sanders #2

[xxseenoxx]

werees earl campbell hes better than some running backs in this video

[bandoftreats]

1. Jim Brown

2. Barry Sanders

3. Walter Payton

4. Jim Thorpe

5. Gale Sayers

6. Bronko Nagurski

7. LaDanian Tomlinson

8. OJ Simpson

9. Eric Dickerson

10. Bo Jackson

[repairtech99]

1. Walter Payton 2. Jim Brown 3. Barry Sanders. Eric Dickerson 5. Emmit Smith 6. OJ Simpson 7. Marcus Allen 8. Marshall Faulk 9. Gayle Sayers 10. Earl Campbell

11. Terrell Davis 12. Marcus Dupree 13. LaDalian Tomlison 14. Billy Sims 15. Franco Harris

[wmaupres]

1. Barry Sanders 2. Walter Payton 3. Jim Brown 4. Marshall Faulk 5. Roger Craig 6. Eric Dickerson 7. OJ Simpson 8. Emmit Smith 9. Marcus Allen 10. Steven Jackson 

This video brought tears to my eyes. I have Jim Brown ranked as #1. When you watch his hightlights it looks like a f....ing riot has broken out on the field and Brown is in the middle of it all. I am partial to Csonka as a pure fullback.  But who can argue with Walter Payton- pure speed, pure power, pure e
