Too bad he had such a short career and had to play on a bad team!

Supposedly the losses got to him and forced an early retirement while still in his prime, age 31.

Sanders was the best, pure running back as a runner. But Payton was the best overall back ... runner, blocker, receiver, returner, passer, punter and even field goal kicker.

Yeah that's unreal running. He makes you wonder how anyone ever stopped him.

Any luck finding any OJ clips? I remember clips of him in his prime, in another life.

OJ as a runner was great, but it's his current brand that's controversial.
