As a football fan, I absolutely love having NFL Network. My favorite show on NFL Network, NFL Top 10. This show is a rankings show where the top weather games or linebacker corps are ranked.
My favorite episode is easily the top 10 “power backs” of all time. I think the reason that I really enjoy watching running backs who can stiff-arm or truck over the defenders. The backs who can be more physical than the defensive players who are supposed to be the physical and vicious ones.
Those are the power backs.
As with most rankings and lists I really disagreed with the NFL Network’s rankings of the Top 10 power backs, so I decided to make my own. This slideshow will highlight my opinion of who the 10 greatest power backs of all time are. Please voice your opinions or come up with your own lists below.
NFL Network’s List is:
10. Mike Alstott
9. Christian Okoye
8. Bronko Nagurski
7. Marion Motley
6. Jerome Bettis
5. Jim Taylor
4. Larry Csonka
3. Earl Campbell
2. John Riggins
1. Jim Brown
