Who are your picks for the 100 greatest football players of all time? What about the 25 greatest teams and the 25 greatest games? Members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee have weighed in on the issue in
NFL's Greatest.
The esteemed committee has chosen the greatest players, teams, and games and the 25 most important events in the history of the National Football League. The roster is, unsurprisingly, impressive--even though the committee refrained from individual rankings, presenting the lists in alphabetical or chronological order. They're all here, from Herb Adderley to Deacon Jones (who coined the term "sack"), from Sonny Jurgensen to Steve Young, from the 1929 Packers to the 1998 Broncos, and from the November 28, 1929, game in which Ernie Nevins scored all of his team's points to help the Browns defeat the Bears 40-6 (the NFL's oldest record) to Super Bowl XXXIV, in which the Rams held off the Titans.
Whether you agree or disagree with the selections, they make great fodder for discussion. NFL's Greatest is sure to find favor with football fans. --Sunny Delaney
