May 7, 2021
Now that we’re a few years removed from the NFL’s 100th Anniversary, it’s time to update our rankings of the 50 Greatest NFL Players of all time. The list needs some slight updating and ordering, as (spoiler alert) a new GOAT has been crowned.
This is the definitive ranking of the 50 Greatest NFL Players of All Time.

He was unfortunately stuck on some heartbreakingly good teams: his Niners were on the verge of glory before they ran into a historical anomaly in the early 2000’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and later was a part of the Eagles team that fell victim to Tom Brady. Despite that, his NFL stats and influence are both undeniable.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. The Jacksonville Jaguars are a little more than a week away from having the franchise quarterback the team has been trying to find for two decades.

Raiders Silver and Black Warrior: LB Matt Millen
