Was Reggie White better then Bruce Smith? Same era and comparable. Was he better then Bob Lilly?
Singletary isn't even the top MLB IMO. Butkus, Ray Lewis, Nobis, Curtis
Hard to compare different times.
LT, Donald, White, Deacon, Smith, Lilly, Butkus, Page, Green, Lewis not to mention some great safeties and CB. I don't see how you can really pick a top 5 and I am sure I am missing some of the all time greats.
The older guys always seem to lose out too. In Basketball Elgin Baylor was a great super star, the first high flyer yet he seems almost forgotten when they rank players on all time lists.
