Is it wrong to elevate a FB over a RB, becasue I was thinking about Moose Johnston here. Then again, Davis was better than I remembered, going to three Pro Bowls and 1st team all-pro one year.

Had a big debate about this awhile back...I was really pushing for Bill Simpson as #48. I found it amazing how few great NFL players wore #48.

I've got Les Richter as my 48. I think 6, 23, 37, 48 & 67 are the "thinnest" numbers.

I think a "worst ever player to wear jersey #" would be a good discussion.
