We have discussed this, but since you brought it up.........
Sanders only had the one great year. If he had not been trapped behind that plow horse Thomas he may well have been number 1. No player before Herschel or since has combined the size and speed the way he did. Of course Sanders was like a video game player. He is simply the quickest most elusive player I have ever seen and I believe he is the best ever in the NFL.
