The game has changed pretty drastically since most of the above players were in the league. We could not claim any of those players would be great in today's NFL.

And was Alstot really THAT great in the NFL? He never exceeded 1000 rushing yards in a season and has less than a career 4.0 YPC.
He was good, but not great.

Alstott was unique. Listed as a FB, he was more of a bruiser RB with soft hands in the passing game. He was always used in a "thunder and lightning" style platoon with Warrick Dunn or whoever else the Bucs had back in those days.

Alstott was great at his role and loved by Bucs fans, but I don't think you can claim he was a great RB overall.
