Barry Sanders has to be considered.

Jim Brown hands down, he was selected to the Pro Bowl 9 times in his career. Brown played 9 seasons. Michael T, as much as I admire Tom Rathman who only has 2 Super Bowl rings. I have to go with Jim Brown on this one.

Larry, Jim, and John were true fullbacks, they were featured backs, but as the defenses changed and bacame faster a need arose to protect the backfield. A fullback is a miniature lineman, with the speed of a running back, but with a head of thunder to take out middle linebackers. I voted on pure fullback ...Tom Rathman is my vote, University of Nebraska, San Fransisco 49er, four super bowl rings.

Larry Zonka from Miami in the 70s or Darryl "Moose" Johnson from the Cowboys in the 90s. Zonka particularly changed the roll of the fullback.

My vote would be for Jim Brown. While at Syracuse University, he was an All-American in Football as well as being one of the best Lacrosse players ever.

First of all whoever said jerome bettis was a fullback is a loser. Has to be Darryl Johnston
