I grew up in Houston, so Earl Cambell will always be the best when he was in his prime. Unfortunately his prime was only for a few short years before all the hits took their toll on his body. The Monday night game against Miami is a classic. Bo Jackson also fit into this category. He was amazing. Bo could outrun or run over any DB and many LB in the league (Ask Brian Bosworth about classic Monday night plays).
When looking at a career, Jim Brown and Barry Sanders were hands down the best. Depends on the era as to which one was number one.
In todays era, offenses have moved away from the running back with more emphasis placed in the passing game. With that said, Faulk has to be the man.
