Despite OJ being scum, he still was an amazing a tough runner who could both stiff arm and or fake a guy out and had world class speed. Or he would run over a guy, he was that strong.  Thermal was quick in small areas and a great receiver.  Another 20 secs and he alone would have won that Superbowl against the Giants.

Favorite is Thurman. He’s the RB that I grew up with as a Bills fan.

 

Travis Henry is next. That dude played through pain, ran hard and impregnated any woman that was within 10’ of him.

 

Tough not to love that kind of bravado.

Thurman was my favorite football player as a kid and a big part of why I became a Bills fan, but Fred Jackson is my favorite player of all time. Yes he's got a great story, and great character, but he was also a great player.

 

Few RBs have the complete skill set he did. In his prime he was dangerous running outside and between the tackles, and as a receiver both out of the backfield and down the field. I almost forgot to mention what a great blocker he was. He was a true 3 down RB.

 

Had he gotten his shot earlier I think he'd go down as one of the better RBs of his generation.

Travis Henry..........Both my sisters and a cousin have children sired by him ;) 

"Sired" is a pretty noble word for a guy who just couldn't keep it in his pants.

 

I have two Jackson jerseys.  My first live Bills game was his first NFL 100 yard rushing performance, in the same game Lynch went 100 as well.  That game had it all, a snowstorm, met a hot Buffalo girl to hang with, even a successful Jauron play challenge.

Initially said Thurman but had to change it to Freddy.  No knock on Thurman but it is a lot tougher to run hard when surrounded by a poor offense that never wins anything.  The only bad part about making the playoffs last year was that Freddy just missed being a part of it.  Glad he got to go to Seattle and be part of a playoff team for a year.

Cribbs

Thurman

 

Nobody else comes close to these 3.

 

Freddy doesn't come close?  He was the heart of the team while setting yardage records and being rated the most elusive RB in the league in a bad offense.

And OJ does not come close to Thurman Thomas!

Yeh OJ was better, but love Thurman despite the helmet incident.  Plus he signed my Superman comic book in the Buffalo airport and handed us oranges during Delaware Avenue parade in old fashion cars.  We were riding our banana sear bikes at the time.  For all his later stupidity OJ was awesome when I was a kid.  Though as a guy, despite his early womanizing... I like Thurman better.
