Carolina Panthers: Steve Smith
Smith completed his 13-year stint with the Panthers as the all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, punt return yards and punt return touchdowns.


Oakland Raiders: Marcus Allen
Can't think of any player who won the NFL Rookie of The Year award then follows that up with a Super Bowl win/MVP the following year. He had the best 74-yard touchdown run that is widely considered the greatest rush in NFL history.

Philadelphia Eagles: Reggie White
Probably the most versatile defensive player in Eagles history. He could play inside or on the outside and still be very effective.


Cleveland Browns: Jim Brown
A running back who averaged 104.3 yards a game in his career and also led the league in rushing EIGHT of his nine seasons. Probably would have been the greatest athlete in Cleveland sports until LeBron James came into the picture.

Detroit Lions: Barry Sanders
Over his 10 year career in Detroit, Barry Sanders rushed for 15,269 yards, rushed for 99 TD’s, caught 10 passings touchdowns for a decade.


Denver Broncos: John Elway
Undoubtedly the greatest player to ever put on a Broncos uniform. Elway won two Super Bowl's with pretty mediocre teams before riding off into the sunset, and he also had 46 career game-winning drives.

Dallas Cowboys: Roger Staubach
Staubach led the Cowboys to two Super Bowl titles and five NFC Championships. His strengths were leading the Cowboys to improbable and epic come from behind wins.



Minnesota Vikings: Fran Tarkenton
His 342 touchdowns ranks 4th all-time and his 33,098 yards is almost 9,000 YARDS more than any other quarterback in Minnesota.

Tennessee Titans/Oilers: Warren Moon
He never won a Super Bowl but you can't ignore the numbers he put him during his time with the Oilers. Throughout his NFL career he accumulated just under 50,000 yards and 300 TDs which ranks Top 10 of all-time. He earned himself a place in both the NFL Hall of Fame and the CFL Hall of Fame.



Miami Dolphins: Dan Marino
Just call him the greatest quarterback to never win a Super Bowl. Despite his postseason struggles, Marino put up ridiculous numbers throughout his career, throwing for 61,361 yards, 420 touchdowns, and 252 interceptions. He was also the first quarterback to surpass the 5,000 mark.

Arguably the best back in NFL history led the NFC in rushing every year from 1976 to 1980 and eclipsed 1,000 yards 10 times. And at one point he had the most receiving yards and rushing yards ever among running backs.
