IF the following athletes in their prime/at their best could step into a time machine and participate today, how would they fare? One has to also weigh in all the rule changes too, ie, QB's have it easier due to rule changes, however the speed of the game is mind-blowing compared to 40 years ago - especially on defense. So here we go...
1) Jim Brown
2) Dick Butkus
3) Walter Payton
4) Joe Montana
5) Jerry Rice
6) Lawrence Taylor
7) Rocky Marciano (not compared to today since heavyweight boxing is dead - compare to the late 80's/90's against Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, etc
8) Muhammad Ali (same as above)
9) Wayne Gretzki
10) Michael Jordan
11) 1985 Chicago Bears
12) - 1995-96 Chicago Bulls
