What’s the criteria
And that Fresca was a game changer also. Had to be tough as nails to suck down a Winny and chug a Fresca both at the same time.
Football Player Ranking Explanations
This website uses statistics and results to rank players. It does not use opinion/bias to rank players.
Only professional league stats are factored into the ratings.
What a player did in High School or College does factor into the ratings.
What is problematic is football is a tough sport to use stats for unless you go back and grade every play by each non skill player its hard to come up with a true snapshot of a career. Also how can different positional stats compare, as an example is a dominating OL like Orlando Pace or Jim Parker really beneath a QB like Roger Staubach? All other sports have shared stats yet in football because of specialization and rules not everyone can pass, receive, or run the ball. Unfortunately it is the one sport that opinion should be used when weighing these types of rankings. With that being said the list is a good starting point and I would move players up or down adjusting for position and era. My tope 10 would look something like this:
1) Jim Parker
2) Jack Lambert
3) Charles Woodson
4) Roger Staubach
5) Alan Page
6) Orlando Pace
7) Len Dawson
8) Marion Motley
9) Ben Roethlisberger
10) Cris Carter
Len Dawson gets a top 10 because he was able to compete at a high level while having the handicap of a nicotine addiction:
FremontKeith,As far as I can tell, missing from this list from Fremont Ross....
Rob Lytle
Bob Brudzinski
Tony Gant.
I checked several times just to make sure. The omission of those three alone makes this list very inaccurate.
#421Where is punter Kevin Huber? Got to at least be in the 900s 10+ seasons in NFL.
Oops missed it…too many lines#421
I agree, although as mentioned, Brudzinski was on this list.As far as I can tell, missing from this list from Fremont Ross....
Rob Lytle
Bob Brudzinski
Tony Gant.

Did I miss James Harrison? Guys like him, hardly recruited out of high school, undrafted, make lists like this interesting.
A couple of drunk guys at the corner tavern. LOL.What’s the criteria

He was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara (Caylor) Babich; his father, Frank Babich Jr.; and his mother, Mary (Lisko) Babich...www.vindy.com
Didn’t see this guy either. Coincidentally in todays Obits.
Desmond Howard #445? Archie Griffin #296? Those two stood out as one's that should be much higher. Art Schlichter #653, maybe if you are ranking on character, but on talent he should be much higher. Kudos to whoever took the time to compile a list of the top 865 players of all time from Ohio. No arguing the top ten which all of whom are in the NFL HOF or will be when Kuechly and Rothlisberger are elected.
