I could have listed Payton Manning at 10 and moved everyone else up one as Herschel Walker is in a class by himself.
Brown was not as dominant in college. Woodson is a stretch. Staubach is a great pick and is under rated. Archie was great but #2 is a bit high.

Barry was a fantastic talent and an all time great. However, he couldn't break the starting lineup until a junior. Thus, how can you be in the top ten all time when you weren't even the best player at your position on your team. Similar arguments can be made about Marcus Allen.

Some others to consider Hugh Green, Bo Jackson, Ernie Davis, Billy Sims, Mike Rozier, Charles White
