Talk about a guy with Hall of Fame talent but a Hall of Very Good career. I'm a weird fan, in that, I usually end up developing a great degree of admiration for great players from division rivals.

The flawed case that people make against Emmitt Smith for Barry Sanders (better overall team) is the same flawed case I make for Randall--admittedly. In the 90s, an era of exciting players, I thought Randall was king. Below are some of his greatest hits, and, for me, quite simply one of the greatest feats of football athleticism every committed.
