The NFL s D-line pass rusher GOAT had quality sidekicks, particularly during his Eagles days. A ninth-round pick, Simmons beat the odds to become a longtime sack artist; his 121.5 are 21st all time. White s most common Philly D-end counterpart was a two-time All-Pro, leading the NFL with 19.5 sacks in 1992. Simmons, White, and Brown a Hall of Fame-caliber talent at D-tackle all made the 1991 All-Pro team. Brown s tragic 1992 death hit the Eagles hard, but White and Simmons were teammates for seven years. White during that time: six All-Pros, 21 sacks in a 12-game season. The power rusher s Philly years are some of the best by a defender ever.

John Riggins is the first running back you may think of, but the Washington record was set by a rookie who was a sixth-round pick out of Florida Atlantic. Morris rushed for 1,613 yards, and he would follow that up with a couple more 1,000-yard seasons in that Washington run game. Since then, he’s just sort of been hanging around the NFL and jumping from team to team, hoping to reclaim that rookie-season glory.

Steve Young stepped out from under Joe Montana s shadow in a huge way by leading the 49ers to his only Super Bowl appearance. After leading San Francisco to touchdowns on the first two drives, Young simply could not be stopped, throwing for a record six touchdowns (tying Doug Williams for most touchdowns in a half at four) and also posting 49 rushing yards, marking the first time a player served as both top rusher and passer in the Super Bowl. His performance still hasn t been matched in another Super Bowl.
