20. Barry Sanders

Barry Sanders is one of the best running backs of all time, and his No. 20 Lions jersey is one of the most iconic in NFL history. No one slid through defenses while simultaneously making every tackler look foolish like Sanders. The 1997 MVP is a member of the 1990s All-Decade Team, and won the Offensive Player of the Year on two separate occasions. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004.

21. Deion Sanders

Deion Sanders is the best cornerback in NFL history, but he was also unlike anyone. With the outfits, the jerry curl, the laid back personality- Sanders was a true celebrity. For as much as he talked, he more than backed it up on the field. He helped the 49ers and Cowboys each win a Super Bowl, and won the 1994 Defensive Player of the Year. Prime Time was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011.

22. Emmitt Smith

It would be a sin to leave off the NFL’s all-time leading rusher. Smith was the best running back of his generation, and helped carry the Cowboys to three Super Bowls in four years. He was an eight-time Pro Bowler and won the MVP in 1993. Smith was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2010.

23. Devin Hester

In terms of players who could change the game in just one play, none could do so quite as well as Devin Hester. In his rookie year of 2006, Hester had a total of five special team touchdowns, which served as a precursor for what was to come. Hester’s 19 touchdowns in the return game are the most in NFL history.
