What 1 NFL player from the Past would make the biggest impact on the NFL Today?
Reader question: If you could bring back an NFL retired player back to his prime today who would it be and why?
I would choose Barry Sanders. Just to prove that Adrian Peterson can not touch the guy.

Dr. Seuss and Kurt Vonnegut went to college together. They were even in the same fraternity, where Seuss decorated the fraternity house walls with drawings of his characters.

Deion. Not the best, or even a Probowl TACKLER, but the best cover corner of his generation. A close, close, close second would be Rod Woodson. Defense= Championships.
Barry Sanders would be just average with the size of today’s players. he would only be as good as say, Julius Jones or Ryan Grant.
–HAHA, I got your there, didn’t I? Just a joke to all of those who say past players couldn’t compete with today’s guys. Such a B.S. argument.

Not going way back but he is retired and in his prime, he was the man.

I would have to pick the original LT– Lawrence Taylor.
LT changed the game from the postion, and I have never seen another player ever be so dominating on defense, Ray Lewis is great, but he didn’t hold a candle to LT in his prime.
Honorable Mentions: (you would have to game plan for all these guys)
1. Barry Sanders: Middle Lions years- nuff said
2. Reggie White: Eagles years- QB magnet, 3rd and long maker
3. Jerry Rice: 49ers- greatest route runner, or WR for that matter
4. Deon Sanders: Falcons years: Shut down one side of the feild
5. Herschel Walker: UGA and USLF years- speed, power and reciever, has more all purpose yards in pro ball than any one man (USFL and NFL combined)

i 1st thought Barry Sanders and then Jerry Rice.
but there are so many names- Walter Payton, Eric Dickerson, Hershel Walker, Lawrence Tayler, Reggie White, Bruce Smith, Dan Marino…
I’m sticking with Barry Sanders or Jerry Rice…

There are many who would dominate in today’s Offensive minded NFL but I would choose the origional LT, that is Lawrence Taylor. I doubt he could pass a drug test and play in the NFL but he would be my choice and I have a choice for offensive player and that would be “Sweetness”.
