Coming up with a top 100 list is harder than you think. Those early players pioneered the game, and I'd rather see them mentioned than some good-but-not-great guy from a later era just because they're trying to fill spots out.

Why? They had an impact on the game as well.

Im loving this series. I get to see the awesome of recent players and learn about some of the pioneers of the game. I like how they have a different presenter for each guy.

Larry Allen literally threw linebackers across the field. It was awesome.

I didn't have it before, having it now, I don't think I can ever go back. It's a god send.
I don't even watch espn anymore. I just turn on the tv and go straight to NFL network.
If you have an android phone, you can stream nfl network on the nfl mobile app.

Michael Strahan is awesome. I love the guy. Him and Reggie White played the run better than any DE I've ever seen.
You just didn't run at Michael Strahan. He was the man.

If Larry Allen is #95, there better not be any guards currently playing on that list. Not even Faneca.

Um, what?
Jim Brown.
I'll listen to an argument for Sammy Baugh, but that's as far as it goes.
