@jetcape15 if it's in the past 20 years then for sure, otherwise i think jerry rice takes more than half of the traits alone. some people say he's the only reason joe montana and steve young are considered among the great qbs.
@Aefax nah. That's the opinion of people that didn't see these guys play. Young and Montana were DOMINATE. They would've been the same no matter who their WR was
As a track and field kid Chris Johnson was my favorite player to watch just because of his pure running form. The way he kind of floats as he runs shows how crazy powerful and strong his legs are. Definitely not a big back but he had great balance which helped him bounce off tackles too. Miss that guy
It's because Tomlinson is the only back in the past 20 years that had all traits in spades. He wasn't the very best at any of them, but the only one elite in all.
Great video, all the selections are pretty tough to argue with, although I’ll admit I was surprised prime Leveon bell wasn’t the choice for vision or hands
Fun to see the CJ2K highlights including his run in the absolute dismantling the Titans suffered in New England because it was pretty much their only bright spot on that side of the ball that day.
Darren Sproles 3 years in NOR really helps puts him over LaDainian Tomlinson in the REC category but man in his prime, no one wanted to guard LT on an angle/arrow/wheel route.
@@Deontelewis846 eh, not really in comparison to the greats of the game, especially LT or his self. In 3 years with NOR he had 232 receptions, 1981 yards, and 16 TDs. In 6 years with PHI he had 175 receptions, 1459 yards, and only 5 TDs. For some reason though he got his 3 Pro Bowls the 3 season AFTER NOR, despite his stats literally being cut in half. I guess that's yet another example why only casuals think highly of Pro-Bowl appearances.
Tomlinson should've been the vision part. He had 31 touchdowns in one season and no one has came close since. Crazy to not put one of the greatest RBs of this generation maybe even all time.
10/10 in contact balance, recieving, agility, vision. Maybe raw power or absolute top speed weren't quite there but both elite. I do think LT had one of the most impressive peaks for a RB the league has ever seen
Route running, speed, hands, Yards after catch, ability to make a guy miss, IQ, release, ball tracking, footwork, and size is what I would like to see in top 10traits of the perfect receiver
I know OJ is not the role model now, but man I would pay money to watch prime OJ in today's league. The guy ran 2000 yards in 14 games against old school defenses who were built to stop the run game. Now defenses built to stop the pass game.
If that's true, why wouldn't teams run every play if the defense isn't focused on stopping the run? Stop the BS. Players on any D line are SIGNIFICANTLY better than they were during OJ's time.
There was a 10 year period where I didn't watch a single NFL game. I came back and I basically didn't recognize anyone; BUT Frank Gore was still around. Absolute animal of a man.

The most perfect back played in Chicago named Walter Payton the only thing he was missing was speed . If he had Barry Sanders speed Emit would of never caught him!
Ladanian Tomlinson had a better stiff arm on a 215 lb frame. His stiff arms were straight punches to the mouth. He took multiple helmets off with his stiff arms. Yeah Henry is huge at 250 lb so of course he is strong but please go watch some LT stiff-arm highlights. Nobody is better
@mattbarker1411 but he's using his whole body weight behind his stiff arm. He has to gather to throw that. LT would be running full speed past you and basically punch your Helmut off with a qiluick strike. You can see Henry's stiff arm coming a mile away.
Vision - Ladanian Tomlinson Agility - Barry Sanders Balance - Walter Payton Acceleration - Chris Johnson Power - Bo Jackson Receiving - Marshall Faulk Durability - Jim Brown
@@crazywhofan6676 You made the reciever, smaller, slower, less athletic, have a smaller catch radius, and have worse hands. You fixed nothing, you absolute fool.
Same. I would say Payton is as close to a perfect RB we've ever seen. The only thing he needs from this list would be the build and speed because he was only 5'10 and wasn't as fast as Chris Johnson.
Great video but I’d swap out Sproles for LT since he put up better receiving numbers maybe Brett put sproles instead since he was only good at catching and not running
No swap him for Forte. The other 2 guys were great receivers because of their unique physical abilities. But he didn't choose any of those abilities to make his perfect back, so how can you choose them for their receiving when they won't have the thing that made them good at it in the first place? I choose Forte because his pass catching was not connected to physical attributes, just route running and hands.
we don't need this video, we ALL already know the perfect RB is. He's already retired. I don't even need to name drop him because we ALL know who it is. 😂😂😂
He’s the goat but he’s not the perfect running back. I’m pretty sure I know who you’re talking about and he doesn’t have the raw power of other backs. Even the goat has a flaw
@@kylemtc2280Barry’s flaw is that he never had a remotely decent offensive line. If he had emmitt smith’s o-line Barry would have the gaudiest rushing numbers in history by so much.
I will say honerable mention to Brandon Jacobs for power, never seen a running back built like him and impossible to not find a truck by him in compilations.
The most complete back talent wise during my time was AP & Fred taylor!! Both had size speed & elusiveness but taylor was a little more effective in the passing game
@dustmaker1212 Again, announcers in the NFL have called him both. If you from Texas or watch him in Oklahoma you gon say AD. If you saw him in the NFL, it could AP. Either or
great vid! would love to see you factor in physicality for WR position. I definitely value a big body guy who can not only work his man in passing game, but can also set the edge blocking and help turn a 5 yard outside run into a 15+ yard sideline scamper
Contact balance is definitely Alvin Kamara…never seen anything like the way he sheds contact and keeps his balance Also acceleration should be Derrick Henry
Love Brett and his contact, and maybe the edit/fil selection wasn't up to him, but he picked AP for Power and delivering hits and then they didn't show any clips of him hitting anyone!
Alvin Kamara has the best contact balance. I know everyone immediately thinks of the beast mode run but to not think of Alvin not being close is crazy.
I was thinking this exact same thing… Watching the game it is incredible how his ability to stay up after contact, just sticks out from the rest of everybody else
Who gives af about the "perfect running-back", when y'all don't want to pay them to be "perfect/great"??? Make this make sense = you guys are confused = you don't value running-backs, so why bring this up???
It comes from a wider running stance. Keeping your legs farther apart vs closer together is the deciding factor for staying up or toppling over basically.
Yes this is 00-present, but Shady wasn't more agile than Barry Sanders. Also Faulk and McCaffrey > Sproles for receiving, and you should have compared Henry's diesel strength vs Peterson's supercar power.
If you ask Brett to make the perfect quarterback, he’d just end up making Christian Hackenberg

Nfl showing Foster some love 💯💯 his vision was nasty my fav running back to this day 💯
It comes from a wider running stance. Keeping your legs farther apart vs closer together is the deciding factor for staying up or toppling over basically.
Wow with how the running back is position is faring in 2023, I’m really appreciating this era of backs we had more. All great backs.
been watching brett for a long time. glad to see him getting the attention he deserves
Great to see Brett! Good vid!
Jamaal Charles honorable mention for acceleration, unfortunately short lived prime but he was electricity personified in his prime
Wow it’s so cool that you built Pierre Strong Jr.
Yes this is 00-present, but Shady wasn't more agile than Barry Sanders. Also Faulk and McCaffrey > Sproles for receiving, and you should have compared Henry's diesel strength vs Peterson's supercar power.
Big W here NFL. More from this guy!
I love it, please do this for more positions!
Commenting before the video derrick Henry better be the size
im here for more Brett
Frank gore had the best vision and balance with always staying low and forward. If only be had better teams in his early years.
52-0 in the 3rd quarter is crazy
I agree with all the picks but personally would have LT for durability and Kamara for receiving and possibly Leveon Bell for vision
THANK YOU on the bell
This honestly is fire, well done!
The fact we don't have a slot for best pass protector is shameful Brett... SHAMEFUL :)
Really have to agree with everything in this vid! Nice one
