SI's All-Time

[Macken]

People are going to complain that this is discriminant against 3-4 players, but a lot of these guys would also be effective in a 3-4 and in Jim Burt's case he was in a 3-4. Pick two of each

Went with Carl Eller and Bruce Smith on the ends...and Allan Page & Joe Greene on the interior.

All 4 of these guy have a ton of career sacks, all 4 were All Pro players for over 11 years, and each player anchored their defense for a long period of time. You look at how many Super Bowl rings Joe Greene has, how many Super Bowl Bruce Smith helped lead the Bills to, and c'mon..."The Purple People Eaters" defense was a huge reason why the Vikings were top contenders back then.
