Taking the idea from a previous post about best individual players NU has competed against. It is so hard to include all positions on a 'best' list. I would probably have to break it down by best 5 at various positions, sorry for mispellings, going off memory. Feel free to add/delete or create your own lists and/or position groups.
QB:
Duante Culpepper
Jamelle Holliway
Charles Thompson
Todd Blackledge
Tim Rattay
RB:
Barry Sanders
Billy Sims
Ricky Williams
Gale Sayers
Curt Warner
WR/TE:
Andre Johnson
Keith Jackson
Charles Westbrook
Christian Fauria
Justin Blackmon
DL:
Steve Emtman
Leroy Selmon
Warren Sapp
Kanavis McGee
Corey Redding
As you can see, I am partial to players from our various conferences, as we got to see them more than 1 time. Obviously there are other position groups you may want to add (LB, DB, OL, etc). I didn't add DB because for many years the other teams defensive backfield didn't have much of an impact since we passed so infrequently. I wish I could remember more LB's and OL's.
Have at it, tear it apart.
