The New York Jets 2019 season hasn’t gone according to plan which is super disappointing, but not nearly as disappointing as what the NFL did to Curtis Martin.
On Friday night, the NFL announced the first position group of the ‘All-100’ team. As part of its celebration of the NFL’s centennial season, the 26-member panel will be announcing a 100 man roster of legends that will slowly and methodically be revealed over the next several weeks.
Running backs were the first group that was revealed and it featured Pro Football Hall of Famers and some of the biggest names of the sport:
- Jim Brown, Cleveland Browns (unanimous selection)
- Walter Payton, Chicago Bears (unanimous selection)
- Emmitt Smith, Dallas Cowboys
- Marion Motley, Cleveland Browns
- Barry Sanders, Detroit Lions
- Steve Van Buren, Philadelphia Eagles
- Gale Sayers, Chicago Bears
- Earl Campbell, Houston Oilers
- Lenny Moore, Baltimore Colts
- OJ Simpson, Buffalo Bills
- Eric Dickerson, LA Rams
- Dutch Clark, Detroit Lions
While all of these guys have impressive resumes, they don’t all surpass New York Jets legend Curtis Martin.
