Yes, I agree. It is fun to come up with lists like this , but all are totally subjective:

Montana, Brady or Unitas:

Mackey, Winslow or Gonzalez:

Deacon Jones or Reggie White:

Mean Joe, Lilly or Olsen:

Deion or Night Train:


We could do this for just about every position. HOWEVER, if I was asked to name the 3 players who are undisputably the greatest at their positions (at least during my lifetime of over 60 years), they would be:

Jim Brown-  Truly "a man amongst boys." Throw in he retired in his prime and did love scenes with Raquel Welch!


Jerry Rice- Records will never be broken. Not a bad dancer, either. Or was that Emmitt Smith?

Lawrence Taylor- Basically created a new position, the rush linebacker, and had to be accounted for on every play.
