Riggins is going down soon

Riggins is going down soon

Riggins was a great RB but he isn't among the best ever.

IMO there are only 3 RBs who could lay claim to being the greatest ever: Emmitt Smith, Walter Payton, and Jim Brown. Everyone else is in a second class.

I was talking to James Washington the other day and I asked him about all the Great RBs. I asked him which one he didn't want to face and he said that he had played or watched a great many of them. He paused for a second and said, "You know, Earl is a guy who if I saw him coming around the corner, I might think about what I had to do to get down a little bit." He said that of all those guys, Earl was the one he didn't want to have to tackle. Said that guy ran like his life depended on it, every single down he ever played. Said he was a man among boys to start off with and then he just never would give it up. Said he was definatly the guy you didn't want to have to be one on one with cause you knew what that ment.

Any way, for what it's worth.

If Earl Campbell or Gale Sayers had lasted longer they would definitely be in the running. Of course, if Jim Brown would have played 15 seasons, Emmitt might still be chasing him.
