over Merlin Olsen or Alan Page.
Point taken, Dog.
Now, this is gonna seem like heresy to some but it’s apples to oranges when comparing players of different eras. For example, Merlin played at 270 pounds which was considered more than adequate in the sixties. But how would he fare going against 330 pound OG’s in today’s NFL? Then there’s the fact that today’s players stay in shape all year long whereas back then players got in shape during camp. It was almost a part time job for most back then.
Like I said, Top 5 is an impossibly high bar and would be far too subjective.
