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.
... you ARE aware that he was a FB, right?
He was an absolute stud, once-in-a-lifetime player.
If I go back in NFL history, there one guy I pick to get me the first on 4th and 1 with the SB on the line.
