I go with Walter Payton. Only missed 1,000 yards twice, and both because of strike-shortened seasons. Over 1,500 yards 4 times, with 1,852 yards in a 14-game season in 1977 (MVP that year).
More importantly, Payton excelled in every facet of the game, like Ladanian Tomlinson but a much better blocker (Payton could throw, too, the Bears just never called the play).
For those too young to remember, I think the best way to describe Payton's running would be like Tomlinson but much more physical. Payton delivered punishment and fought for ever yard.
#2 in career rushing, 2 MVPs, a Super Bowl, not a single poor season, never missed a game with injury and always played with class, Payton was the greatest.
