No Larry Fitzgerald smh. Larry is 2nd in most receiver categories and he did it without the QB talent that Jerry Rice had. Larry may not have a ring, but he is one of the best receivers of his era.
Was glad to see Adrian Peterson in as an honorable mention as I was surprised that I hadn't seen him yet. I think some forget just how exhausting he was for defenses to play against. He could go all day long and it only got easier as the game went on for him to run you over or just beat you in a race down the sideline.
He should be at the top Someone must have just forgot until the list was complete LT goes above Dan Marino on this list Or they should have put Him and LT both @ 8 Something like that because they’re both 2 RB’s that could be considered Thee GOAT But Barry , Walter rip & Brown rip Have that sewed up Without them it would be LT AD & Emmitt
Adrian Peterson ran for 2100 and 6 ypc with Christian Ponder at quarterback… The one year he played with an elite QB they made the NFC Champ game and should have won.
Surprised that Fran Tarkenton was only honorable mention. He was league MVP, was in three Super Bowls, and held the career records in all of the major quarterback categories until Marino.
@@patrickgrant6389no. Their first SB QB was Joe Kapp. Tarkenton was in NY. He came back and led SB appearances in 73 vs(Miami), 74 vs(Pittsburgh) and 76 vs(Oakland)
Especially for a guy who if you plopped his career in today's NFL he would be leagues above everyone else. Fran was doing stuff in the 60s and 70s that QBs still struggle to do. Add in improved offense schemes, better quality of weapons, and rule changes that suit his style of play and you have a QB that could've probably carried the 2022 Bears to the Super Bowl by himself (assuming Chicago didn't trade him for a massive haul of picks).
Marino and Moss were both GOAT level good so early in their careers. Dolphins and Vikings fans seemed poised for multiple rings during their primes. Sadly it wasn't meant to be.
I may be a Raiders fan but I make a huge exception for LT. He was a Charger, and he deserved better. At least he can say he beat the Pats in the playoffs once.
@thenumberquelve158 Same. Raiders are my team, but growing up during LT's prime, I couldn't help but root for the dude. Absolutely electric player, and just a really nice guy on top of it.
Kevin Greene would have been a perfect honorable mention. 3rd all time in sacks, most for an outside backer all time. Every team he played for made it to at least their conference championship game. 80s rams 90s Steelers(Superbowl appearance), panthers and 49ers. great HOF player
Love the Barry love! Thank you from a lifelong Michigan native since 2000. Barry’s before my time but I experienced the heartbreak with Megatron. Two of the greatest examples of some dudes who gave everything they had to put their whole city on their backs, unconditionally. Every Sunday I knew Calvin was gonna do something special, and if he didn’t I watched him give his all trying to do so. Barry was no different. Detroit is no different. We try hard every day despite all the trauma, ain’t worried about if the world is watching, we’re just grinding, racking the accolades and helping the rest of our family eat.
Take my word, as a denver fan who is old enough to watch Barry sanders in action, he was an artist in motion. He was spectacular to watch live! 😊 There is no other like him. To this day I consider him the GOAT of running backs. It is a dern shame he never made it to the Super Bowl.

@@anitafloyd2554 No. Winning the championship was exactly that...champions. Fans were curious as which league champion was the better team so both leagues agreed to an exhibition game to see if the upstart AFL was on par with the NFL. These exhibition games were coined the "Super Bowl" by some press writer I believe and the grandiose name stuck after the merger, therefore, the new expanded NFL retconned those four AFL-NFL championship games into Super Bowl canon. You don't simply dismiss every NFL champion from 1920-1966 because they either didn't have a competing league to play against or didn't play their champion when such leagues did exist. The NFL champion never played the champion of the AAFL in the 40s...but everyone knew that Cleveland was easily the best pro team in America back then and would mop the field with any NFL team and when that league collapsed, the NFL offered that prized team a spot in their league. They were proven right as Cleveland went on to win several NFL championships.
I'm so proud that I got to see Bruce Smith play as a Buffalo Bills fan. I wasn't that great of a football player in little league and I played modified football too and I model my game after him as a defensive lineman I only had we got to the quarterback once for exact in my career in Little League Warren High School football
What differentiates Alan Page from the other guys on this list is that he actually won an NFL championship in '69 ... Vikes just lost the AFL-NFL championship game in an upset to the AFL Champion Chiefs. Every other player either never played in an NFL title game or started their career after 1970 when the Super Bowl WAS the NFL championship game.
Not only is this a great one, there's that continuous number on the lower right part of the screen for when you scan or playback later or lose your place. Awesome, Throwback! Thanks for taking the trouble to do that for us. By the way I wonder if I missed Herschel in the honorable mentions. I did see O.J. there, who some including myself would make top 10. People either forget or are too young to realize just how dominating Juice was. Had he not hurt his knee, fiercely, I'm confident he would have overtaken Jim Brown.
Sanders class act.. hands down.greatest running back ever and never went to a super bowl. True story, I was 12 years old my dad told me the best running back ever was Barry Sanders. It's was the 94 season playoff game GB vs lions. I was hyped, first time ever to see the great Barry Sanders. Me living in Texas all they showed was cowboys and 49ers on local channels. (No NFL Sunday ticket yet)my first game was the 13 carries 0 yards longest 7 yards stat. After he retired I could agree he was and still is the best running back ever. If there were no blockers and you had 11 football players to tackle him, he would be the hardest to catch. Not tackle...catch.
@cooperwolfe5478 Tim Brown for me. Dude had Rich Gannon as his best QB and still put up over 1,000 catches, just shy of 15,000 yards, and 100 touchdowns. Owens had Young, Garcia (underrated), McNabb, and Romo throwing him the ball. Huge difference in QB quality they each played with
@@Buttington_Headerson Terrell Owens was volatile and bad for morale in some instances. His problems as a teammate soured many people against him. And yeah, the media held something of a grudge.
Dick Butkus may never have won a Super Bowl, but he has something vert special that very few players--even Super Bowl winners--can boast, and that's be honored by having his name affixed to a trophy. Since 1985, the Butkus Award has been given annually to the top college linebacker.
1992 was another painful year for Dan Marino. Miami won their division, beat their rival bills 37-10 in Buffalo that year, flattened the Chargers 31-0 in the Division game, but when it came time to host Buffalo in the AFC Championship, Mairno played okay, but the Dolphins turned the ball over 5 times, and couldn't stop Thurman Thomas, losing 29-10 in a bit of a shocker.

I damn sure don't. I LOVE that we crush the dreams of these offensive juggernaut teams and of these stupid sports reporters who always spit on the Giants' teams that make the Super Bowl. LOVE that we ruined the 18-0 Cheatriots' season, as well as the 1990 Bills (who were supposed to destroy Big Blue in SB XXV)
It's funny you said that because I told my brother while watching this video to never underestimate the Giants in the playoffs. Coming from a Lions fan.
I honestly didn't remember that Randy Moss was on the 49ers team that lost to Baltimore. Considering he's one of my all time favorites that actually surprised me.
I remember because he had a couple of huge moments that year in primetime...catching a td at New England on an epic game on Sunday Night football and an amazing run after the catch td at Arizona on MNF. I will always say that not attempting a fade route/jump ball inside the 5 was an egregious mistake by the SF coaching staff.
Warren Moon's best years was when he was with The CFL's Edmonton Eskimos (now The Edmonton Elks). Brian Dawkins, and The Late Ken Riley should have been on the list.
Honorable mention for Julius Peppers! One of the best pass rushers of all time, 4th all time in career sacks, 9x pro bowl, 3x 1st team all-pro! Pep was a beast!
The fact I never knew Dic Butkas didn’t win a Super Bowl,let alone a playoff game is insane and glad Bruce Mathews got so recognition love and he is the best OL of all time in my eyes
I know he's an OL, but no Logan Mankins. 7 Pro Bowls. 2010s all decade team. Played with Brady for NINE SEASONS but never won a Super Bowl. Brutal timing
Man I'm still mad about the fact that Detroit refused to trade Barry, denying him a chance to play with a contender and basically forcing him to retire while still in his prime... may the Lions be cursed for all eternity!
Sanders is the best running back ever. Not only for rushing for at least 1100 yards every season, and making the pro bowl as well as all pro every year. It's because he did it in Detroit
@@anitafloyd2554 There is one superman that averaged - wait for it - averaged 104 yards, per game ... for every game of his ENTIRE CAREER!! That would be 1600 per season for a career, though few have even done that in a season! Have you heard of that guy? And BTW that's a different guy than the one who had the highest average per game for a single season. That one was O.J., 143 in 1973. Not knocking Barry but pointing out a couple of other all time scary monsters :) Barry BTW has the all time record for most 150 yard games. And Barry had 2000 in a 14 game stretch, 1997, wuh-wuh-wow.
I love and respect football history, so I really appreciate your post. Another remarkably great season in Walter Payton running for 1,852 yards in 1977 which was the last of the 14 game seasons.
@@anitafloyd2554 Thanks for your post and replies. JB and OJ are in my book #1 and 2, but I have a less popular 3rd place, even above Emmitt on my favorite team, even above Barry who was better than Emmitt, which is Herschel. I would call him the hardest player to tackle in history, yet literally had Olympic speed. I think he would have doubled every record in the book if defenses were not completely amassed on him. But of course that might be also said for Barry, talk about maybe the most game-planned-against player ever, considering his team. Like Herschel's freak combo of strength plus speed, I read that JB ran a 4.5 at 230 pounds, and now I'm going to laugh at how audacious that was, because it was in full pads and from a 3 point stance, if the claim is correct!!
Tony G could’ve signed with the pats the year he retired and won a SB but he said he was done. Him and Gronk with Brady for a year would’ve been wild even if he was older.
I was really rooting for Larry Fitzgerald to get a ring. I will never forget that Superbowl against the Steelers. When Big Ben made that throw to Holmes I thought it was gonna be a pick but damn it was a good throw and catch.
I hate when people say LT had 31 TDs in 2006. He had 34. 3 Passing TDs that year alone. Even if they don’t count the passes as TDs because he didn’t score them, they should still put 34 as his stat
@@cooperwolfe5478 Johnson regularly got triple teamed with little help in scheme and surrounding teammates. If he played for a good team he wpild have put up video game numbers. In this era 3,000 yards wouldnt be out of the question
@@joshballer8821 Johnson was hardly ever triple teamed, watch any of his his highlights, 95% are against obvious 1 on 1 or zone. Guy was too ineffective in red zone to be mentioned alongside someone like Owens.
@@nbt2310 highlights are highlights for a reason... he got doubly covered with a safety also backing up deep a lot. There were some single coverages and that's when he did exceptionally. I guess you would just have to follow it to know. I dont Dislike T.O. or something. I just have never seen Johnsons talent replicated. He just didnt have the talent around him for it to be showcased as well as some others.
So where's Fran Tarkenton? The guy won a league MVP in 75 & retired owning every meaningful passing record in NFL history. It's laughable & ridiculous that he's not on this list.
Dan Marino is gonna be #1. He has to be. P.S. After watching the video, I have no issue with Barry being #1. Great pick. I love watching Barry Sanders' highlight reels.
I figured Larry Fitz was going to be on here, at least as an HM. So close in 2011. Best Cardinal EVER and one of the best receivers all time 🏈👊 Edit: I meant 2009, not 2011
As a New England fan, it was such a shame that Randy Moss didn’t get his Super Bowl with the team. I was also cheering for him in 2012 with the 49ers to win it against the Ravens, they almost pulled off that comeback. I do remember Tony Gonzales at the tail end of his career and remember TO from 2004 onwards. I wasn’t alive for certain players like Steve Largent but my dad has been a Seahawks fan since the 80s and Largent was a huge reason why he became a Seahawks fan outside of the fact that he (my dad) was born in Oregon.
I know right? Gary Zimmerman was lucky the Vikings traded him when he was still in his prime. Granted even then he had a close call since the guy initially retired after 1996 before being talked out of it by Shanahan and Elway.
Larry Fitzgerald... Patrick Willis... Eric Dickerson... Randy Moss... Adrian Peterson... Junior Seau... Earl Cambell... Warren Moon... Curtis Martin... Tim Brown... Steve Largent... Derrick Thomas... So many...
There’s no way Tony Romo doesn’t make honorable mention. Several players showcased don’t even compare. I agree with those in the top 10, but I could easily argue Romo ahead of some, and even more of the HMs shown. Despicable.
Thurman Thomas, Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, Bruce Smith, Joe Thomas, Bruce Matthews, Randy Moss, Dan Fouts, Alan Page, JJ Watt, Larry Fitzgerald, Munoz, Tony Gonzales, Kellen Winslow, on and on and on. Warren Moon, Earl Campbell, where does it end?
Burrow isnt clutch. He had a chance to tie or win the SB and didnt get it done and had multiple chances in a tie game to take the lead at KC in the AFC championship game, and he failed once again.

It's funny you said that because I told my brother while watching this video to never underestimate the Giants in the playoffs. Coming from a Lions fan.
That 3 of the best and most dominant WR ever all are without a Super Bowl in Terrell Owens, Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson is crazy!
Number 1 was also the Greatest to never go to a Super Bowl. Most of the others at least got there at least once.
We need the same list for different positions. Imho please make it happen
I honestly didn't remember that Randy Moss was on the 49ers team that lost to Baltimore. Considering he's one of my all time favorites that actually surprised me.
I remember because he had a couple of huge moments that year in primetime...catching a td at New England on an epic game on Sunday Night football and an amazing run after the catch td at Arizona on MNF. I will always say that not attempting a fade route/jump ball inside the 5 was an egregious mistake by the SF coaching staff.
Dan, barry, and randy. My three favorite players of all time. The football gods are cruel.
Warren Moon's best years was when he was with The CFL's Edmonton Eskimos (now The Edmonton Elks). Brian Dawkins, and The Late Ken Riley should have been on the list.
Honorable mention for Julius Peppers! One of the best pass rushers of all time, 4th all time in career sacks, 9x pro bowl, 3x 1st team all-pro! Pep was a beast!
The fact I never knew Dic Butkas didn’t win a Super Bowl,let alone a playoff game is insane and glad Bruce Mathews got so recognition love and he is the best OL of all time in my eyes
I know he's an OL, but no Logan Mankins. 7 Pro Bowls. 2010s all decade team. Played with Brady for NINE SEASONS but never won a Super Bowl. Brutal timing
For guard, Roaf and Hutchinson would be bigger examples.
Right but neither spent nearly a decade with the GOAT and missed a ring because of bad timing
@@iamhungey12345
@@carsonyoung9965 They were more accomplished than Mankins.
Man I'm still mad about the fact that Detroit refused to trade Barry, denying him a chance to play with a contender and basically forcing him to retire while still in his prime... may the Lions be cursed for all eternity!
Sanders is the best running back ever. Not only for rushing for at least 1100 yards every season, and making the pro bowl as well as all pro every year. It's because he did it in Detroit
The man averaged over 1500 yards rushing tor a decade!!! There are HOF RBs who never even ran tor 1500 in a season ie Marshall Faulk
@@anitafloyd2554 There is one superman that averaged - wait for it - averaged 104 yards, per game ... for every game of his ENTIRE CAREER!! That would be 1600 per season for a career, though few have even done that in a season! Have you heard of that guy?
And BTW that's a different guy than the one who had the highest average per game for a single season. That one was O.J., 143 in 1973. Not knocking Barry but pointing out a couple of other all time scary monsters :)
Barry BTW has the all time record for most 150 yard games. And Barry had 2000 in a 14 game stretch, 1997, wuh-wuh-wow.
@@Bill_Woo of course I know. The great Jim Brown.
I love and respect football history, so I really appreciate your post. Another remarkably great season in Walter Payton running for 1,852 yards in 1977 which was the last of the 14 game seasons.
@@anitafloyd2554 Thanks for your post and replies. JB and OJ are in my book #1 and 2, but I have a less popular 3rd place, even above Emmitt on my favorite team, even above Barry who was better than Emmitt, which is Herschel. I would call him the hardest player to tackle in history, yet literally had Olympic speed. I think he would have doubled every record in the book if defenses were not completely amassed on him.
But of course that might be also said for Barry, talk about maybe the most game-planned-against player ever, considering his team.
Like Herschel's freak combo of strength plus speed, I read that JB ran a 4.5 at 230 pounds, and now I'm going to laugh at how audacious that was, because it was in full pads and from a 3 point stance, if the claim is correct!!
Philip Rivers deserved to be an honorable mention on this list.
Great list. Really good honorables, too.
Tony G could’ve signed with the pats the year he retired and won a SB but he said he was done. Him and Gronk with Brady for a year would’ve been wild even if he was older.
With those honorable mentions thrown in … it’s crazy to see how many greats didn’t win a Super Bowl !
Barry Sanders well deserved Number 1 Spot
I was really rooting for Larry Fitzgerald to get a ring. I will never forget that Superbowl against the Steelers. When Big Ben made that throw to Holmes I thought it was gonna be a pick but damn it was a good throw and catch.
No way you made this list without putting Larry Fitzgerald on it. The disrespect continues
As soon as I saw t.o. I was like oh okay so no Fitz. Lame asfffffff
You all are great at content like this! Keep it coming!
Randy Moss and Brian Urlacher are the ones that hurt the most for me 😢
Sterling Sharpe should have made honorable mention. Really great video. Still can't believe Butkas and Sayers didn't win a championship.
What’s crazy is the fact that I don’t think either player played in a playoff game.
1 not being Marino is a crime. Don’t get me wrong Sanders was great but Marino was revolutionary to the QB position
Barry is a better overall player imo
Dan Marino is obviously #1 and it's not even close.
Marino honestly should be 5
Sanders (best RB
Moss ( best WR
LT ( RB2
Bruce Smith ( one of the best d
He wasn’t great after his first 4 or 5 years in the league.
Marino and Moss are #1 and #2 by a mile.
Rumor has it, Diggs is still standing in the end zone with his arms behind his back.
I hate when people say LT had 31 TDs in 2006. He had 34. 3 Passing TDs that year alone. Even if they don’t count the passes as TDs because he didn’t score them, they should still put 34 as his stat
Thank you for mentioning Champ Bailey
Barry Sanders is the greatest running back of all time and he would be the rushing leader if he hadn't retired early. Another stellar throwback video.
He isn't the best the best is Jim brown by far
T.O. on this list over Calvin Johnson clearly means NFL Throwback sees Owens > Calvin, which is a great thing.
Stats wise yea. Talent wise... Hard to find one better than Johnson.
@@joshballer8821Obviously both were great in there respective eras, but personally I think T.O. was the better receiver but that’s just my opinion.
@@cooperwolfe5478 Johnson regularly got triple teamed with little help in scheme and surrounding teammates. If he played for a good team he wpild have put up video game numbers. In this era 3,000 yards wouldnt be out of the question
@@joshballer8821 Johnson was hardly ever triple teamed, watch any of his his highlights, 95% are against obvious 1 on 1 or zone. Guy was too ineffective in red zone to be mentioned alongside someone like Owens.
@@nbt2310 highlights are highlights for a reason... he got doubly covered with a safety also backing up deep a lot. There were some single coverages and that's when he did exceptionally. I guess you would just have to follow it to know. I dont Dislike T.O. or something. I just have never seen Johnsons talent replicated. He just didnt have the talent around him for it to be showcased as well as some others.
Excellent list
Patrick Willis deserved *at least* an honorable mention
Wes Welker without a superbowl. Playing with Tom Brady and Peyton Manning top 2 best QB of all-time
Moon and Largent are 2 of my all time favorite players.
Pats fan here, honestly Randy Moss sucks during playoffs and when it mattered most
So where's Fran Tarkenton? The guy won a league MVP in 75 & retired owning every meaningful passing record in NFL history. It's laughable & ridiculous that he's not on this list.
Actually, He is briefly mentioned.
Agree...it's pathetic.
Dan Marino is gonna be #1. He has to be.
P.S. After watching the video, I have no issue with Barry being #1. Great pick. I love watching Barry Sanders' highlight reels.
Sanders excelled at a position less impactful than Moss and obviously Marino.
I miss Madden. His voice is these videos is like he is still here.
Keep up what your doing man❤❤
Cant believe Jim Kelly and larry Fitzgerald were honorable mentions they both had HOF careers
I figured Larry Fitz was going to be on here, at least as an HM. So close in 2011. Best Cardinal EVER and one of the best receivers all time 🏈👊
Edit: I meant 2009, not 2011
Right. I was coming to the comments to ask if I missed the Larry Fitz honorable mention. Glad to see someone else say it.
I agree 100%. I have so much respect for Larry. He deserves to have won at least 1 super bowl
2011?? Dont you mean 2008??
He was an HM
@@CaseyWinehouse you did miss him
As a New England fan, it was such a shame that Randy Moss didn’t get his Super Bowl with the team. I was also cheering for him in 2012 with the 49ers to win it against the Ravens, they almost pulled off that comeback. I do remember Tony Gonzales at the tail end of his career and remember TO from 2004 onwards. I wasn’t alive for certain players like Steve Largent but my dad has been a Seahawks fan since the 80s and Largent was a huge reason why he became a Seahawks fan outside of the fact that he (my dad) was born in Oregon.
Paul Krause 81 interceptions most all time how he not at least honourable mention 🤷🏾♂️
The amount of Vikings on here is hilarious and depressing.
I know right? Gary Zimmerman was lucky the Vikings traded him when he was still in his prime.
Granted even then he had a close call since the guy initially retired after 1996 before being talked out of it by Shanahan and Elway.
Moss on this list is heartbreaking
i love these i hope NFL never stop making these documentary style vids
O.J. Simpson as an honorable mention is hilarious to me
Larry Fitzgerald... Patrick Willis... Eric Dickerson... Randy Moss... Adrian Peterson... Junior Seau... Earl Cambell... Warren Moon... Curtis Martin... Tim Brown... Steve Largent... Derrick Thomas... So many...
Couple of them at least finally got won while working for the team when they won.
Barry is the best RB off all time his father needs to stop playing with him
LT was my favorite player. Definitely deserved one with San Diego
Crazy to think that owens and rice played together for half a decade and both ended up as some of the top receivers all time.
Hopefully Derrick Henry can win one so he doesn’t have to be part of a list like this
I hate to say it but Derrick Henry is never going to win a Super Bowl
Do a Top 10 Players That Never Won an NFC/AFC Championship Ring 💍
Damn Philip Rivers couldn’t even get an honorable mention?
he is still playing
@@jimbo9208 No he isn't.
@@jeremynelson2773 okay then but what did he do that was s great
If the guy is on the list then the title would have been "Top 10 QBs without a championship".
anyone else wondering why diggs is on the thumbnail?? script????
There’s no way Tony Romo doesn’t make honorable mention. Several players showcased don’t even compare. I agree with those in the top 10, but I could easily argue Romo ahead of some, and even more of the HMs shown. Despicable.
You got me fucked up if you think diggs is a top ten player to never win a superbowl
Thurman Thomas, Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, Bruce Smith, Joe Thomas, Bruce Matthews, Randy Moss, Dan Fouts, Alan Page, JJ Watt, Larry Fitzgerald, Munoz, Tony Gonzales, Kellen Winslow, on and on and on. Warren Moon, Earl Campbell, where does it end?
Dan Marino, Megatron, Barry Sanders, Larry Fitzgerald, JJ Watt, Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates, Matt Ryan, John Hannah, and OJ Simpson all come to mind
I remember the Burrow Brady comparisons. But I have a feeling it’ll be more like Burrow Marino comparison
Burrow isnt clutch. He had a chance to tie or win the SB and didnt get it done and had multiple chances in a tie game to take the lead at KC in the AFC championship game, and he failed once again.
@@anitafloyd2554 Yeah he was honestly the main reason they lost the SB.
I love it when he posts
sanders is #2 and Marino is #1... IMNSHO. Marino had more records than Sanders if I am not mistaken, and if I am fuck it
All I seen was the title, BARRY SANDERS! Calvin Johnson has to be up there. Class. Lives life on his own terms.
Before even starting this vid I thought they better include Anthony Munoz and Hog Hannah. Nice to see the respect for the big men!
When there's no football or basketball I can always come to NFL throwback for some great football content.
You gotta make a video about 1995: the year of the Wide Receiver. The one about 2000 being the year of the Runningback was awesome.
