NFL Network Has Eric dikkerson As The #1 Running Back Of The '80s

[Wacky D]

this is prolly an old episode but i was watching nfl top 10 yesterday.

their explanation for having sweet-feet at number 2 is that he is the better all-time back(i think they were calling him the goat) but eric dikkerson personified the '80s more.

thoughts on this?


Here is the complete list

10. Billy Sims
9. Bo Jackson
8. Curt Warner
7. John Riggins
6. Ottis (OJ) Anderson
5. Tony Dorsett
4. Roger Craig
3. Marcus Allen
2. Walter Payton
1. Eric dikkerson

Comes down to personal preference at the end of the day honestly.


Eric my choice though

He was the most dominant runner of the 80s. Wasnt close. Scary as fukk for 80s Niners fans

It's true....no problem with it.

Yeah and I think I'm a little older than you. Being honest I don't remmbers him enough to say one way or the other.

No. Much of Payton's heyday was in the 70s though

 

[Self_Born7]

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

[Da_Eggman]

I think ED was the goat honestly

 

[Schmoove]

Walter was great, but his best days were late 70s/early 80s.

He was good for a long ass time tho.
