Charlie Joiner out of Grambling held the receiving record when he retired. Bob Hayes out of FAMU was the most feared WR EVER! Teams created zone defenses due to his dominance. Greatest MLB is between Lanier and Butkus. So, the greatest WR, DE, MLB, and 2 Linemen, along with arguably the greatest RB went to HBCUs. Payton ran, passed, caught passes, and punted at JSU. The Hayes omission is glaring. Everson Walls set the rookie interception record and came close to breaking the single season record that year. I believe that he was the first to lead the league his first three years. Sterling Sharpe was the greatest H-back ever and held some TE records when he retired. Though he played next to Lynn Swann, John Stallworth actually had the stats and had all of the Steelers receiving records. Steve McNair came one yard from being the second African American QB to win a SB. HBCUs placed most of the Black players in both leagues through the 1970s. White schools leached great players away by 1971 when LSU and Ole Miss were the last two major programs to recruit Black players.

Ok, it's official, I'm getting old. I remember seeing all of these players on Sunday.

But his numbers are not only far superior to Namath's, they're also better than many of his 1960s NFL contemporaries.

If prairie view is a HbCU then my gracious you are absolutely right. Ken Houston is one of the greatest ever. And even with that being said they forgot arguably the best of all time Lem Barney.

Yoowuzgud Strahan made the list of the ALL TIME GREATS NO.99!!!!!!!

I usually have a couple problems with these lists but this was done perfectly in my opinion

Art Shell deserves to be much higher. Maryland Eastern Shore is a very small school and to rise to the level he did on pure desire and intelligence. That's a real man. Doug Williams was the man! Coming from Grambling, he finally proved that black QBs were intelligent enough. Who questioned that? I never did because I grew up with black guys who played football with me. Doug Williams was awesome! I was and am a fan!

The disrespect to not have Shannon Sharpe on this list is incredible

Payton should be #1 arguably. He played runningback, quarterback, and kicker effortlessly in the Nfl.

If NFL Films makes a top 10 offensive lineman of all time, Art Shell deserves to be on there.

I hope the NFL Network does a top 10 HBCU programs of all time some day.

Doug Willians is an amazing and inspirational story, as are all of these really. But his I find particularly incredible.

Speaking of Florida A&M, I'm surprised that Ken Riley was not on the list. When he played 15 years with The Cincinnati Bengals, he had 65 interceptions. That's more than Pittsburgh's Mel Blount.

Love the HBCU's, it ain't about where you go, it's about what you do when you get there.

No CHARLIE JOINER he was the ORIGINAL leader for all time receptions straight from Grambling.

Willie Brown's quickness was incredible. i have no doubt he'd be just as good today and stick to receiver it's crazy seeing Mel Blount do what he did...you look at the agility of those plays, you look at him and your mind immediately says linebacker

Our marching band got to meet Doug Williams at one if Gramblings homecoming games in 88 through our band teacher who was a drum major at the time Grambling in 78 and were good friends.

This was a great Top 10 list and I would not be at all mad if they did a second version of this list. Anyone that didn't make this list should be eligible for that.

I'd have flipped the top two. I think Walter Payton is the best football player of my lifetime. Technically, Jim Brown played one season after I was born, but I don't count him.

Wow, no John Stallworth a 4× super bowl winner and hall of Famer

Well it does have two of the top 3 players of all time in rice and Payton

I'm a Bills fan but Walter Payton might be the best overall football player I've ever seen play the game. Sweetness probably had a better passing arm than some of the QB's the Bears have had over the years and was a hell of a pass protector too when he had to pick up a blitzing LB or DB. Not to mention the fact that he may very well be the greatest runner who ever played the game. His work ethic was second to none

Bret Favre gave Michael that sack he took 5 steps and slipped

It explains the mediocrity of many FBS programs. You look at the talent that came from HBCU programs, FBS schools could have had them as well, but due to segregation and racism, it was HBCU schools that benefitted the most from it. To be overlooked at certain positions because of the color of your skin is ridiculous and unnecessary. Players like Lanier, Shell, and Williams showed that skin color has little to nothing to do with a players ability at some of the most physically and mentally demanding positions. It’s a shame that a point like this has to be made instead of using common sense. If you can do your job, and do it well, nothing else matters.

That southern idea of “inbreeding will make us stronger than them” failed 🤷‍♂️

I'm a Bears fan, so I'm probably a bit biased -- but I'd go with Walter at No. 1. Jerry Rice was the greatest receiver of all-time, but Payton was arguably the greatest football player of all-time. He ran, blocked and caught passes as good as any RB to suit up. And one game, he even played QB. Someone who says Jerry Rice is the hardest working man in the history of the NFL obviously has no idea how Payton trained. ... BTW, is there any reason for Scott Ferrall to be on this show other than his weird voice? I never even heard of the dude.

Doug Williams at 8:59, the game is at the LA Coliseum. I know the field has under gone may changes since that shot was taken. But, interesting how the field arrangement has changed over the years.

This list is ridiculously excellent. It’s shameful that only the exceptional were even considered. Think of ALL the excellent players from black colleges that never even got a glimpse

I grew up in the DC area and I personally think the NFL hyped up Doug Williams/ black QB thing. He had been around a long time before joining the redskins and took Tampa to their first playoff game. EVERYONE knew he was a good QB
