The only 5 I can think of were:
1. Paul Hornung
2. Rocky Blier
3. Ricky Watters
4. Jerome Bettis
5. Julius Jones

I really can't come up with any others of great signifigance. What do you guys think.

Greg Bell had a decent career w/ the Bills, Rams & Raiders. He played in the mid thru late '80s.

Vegas played approx. 2 yrs. w/ the Pats. He had respectable #s considering how bad they were, so I'm guessing he was befelled by injury, but not sure.

I would put both Bettis, and Watters in the top three.

No question. As far as rushing yardage & TDs they are amongst the all-time greats. Not saying Watters will get in the HOF, but his numbers are up there w/ HOFers.
