The 150 Best Players in NFL History, Part 8

Saturday, June 1, 2013


Part 7 is here.


100 players left to go; I’ll break this last section into ten pieces, so this is the last 10 before we start seeing players removed from the bottom of the list as it never gets above 150. 

Approximate value, games, value/game are the numbers.

100. John Brodie 140 201 .697 – between Bledsoe and Houston; currently 38th overall.

99. James Lofton 141 233 .605-between Dawkins and McDaniel; currently 60th overall.

98. Reggie Wayne 142 189 .751-between Dorsett and Jim Taylor; currently 21st overall

97. Vinny Testaverde 142 233 .609 –between Parrish and Krieg; currently 55th overall.

96. Clay Matthews 142 278 .511-between Ralph Neely and Larry Wilson; currently 91st overall.

95. Sam Huff 142 168 .845-between Edge and Henry Jordan; currently 5th overall.

94. Chuck Howley 142 180 .789-between Warfield and McNabb; currently 13th overall.

93. Marcus Allen 142 222 .640-between Hampton and Cornell Green; currently 48th overall.

92. Willie Davis 143 162 .883-between Lary and Van Brocklin; currently 3rd overall.

91. Alex Karras 143 161 .888-betweeb Lary and Davis; currently 3rd overall – Detroit Lions in the top 3 spots overall. 

90 left.  The top 60 here will be in the final 150; the bottom 90 are in jeopardy.

Who's the best wrestler in the list?

It'll be Nomellini. He hasn't hit yet. Nagurski played too long ago to evaluate comparably.
