Overrated? Disagree. He only started 23 games in his NFL career, but averaged about 5.5 yards per carry including runs of 91, 92, and 88 yards. His 162 game average in baseball would have been about 30 HRs and 100 RBIs. In the pre steroid era, those are pretty good numbers, and he was an absolutely sick outfielder. I think if his hip hadn't exploded against the Bengals, he would have gone down as the best, no question.
Who do you feel is the best of the remaining 15 athletes?
