Who do you guys think it is? I'm gonna have to say Jerry Rice.

That's a tough question. Too many different positions, in which the jobs are very different. Can't really compare the greatness of a WR to that of a CB.

There really hasnt been a player in the NFL that has revolutionized the game like MJ did with basketball, no one player stands out enough to be called the GOAT.

Rice was the most dominant ever. When the game got bigger he played better, and he put up the greatest receiving season of all time in 1987, and he owns most the receiving records.

I know. Rice is the GOAT WR. However, I'm sure throughout the years there has been OL who have just dominated the competition, but we barely hear about cause they are OL lol.

I agree with Rip, the GOAT WR is a completely different story than GOAT QB.

Also I agree with Dorado. Sure there are a bunch of household names that everyone knows, but no stand alone player.

Yeah good point by Dorado. NFL is just a completely different game than NBA.
NFL is more players working in unison, whereas NBA can indeed be dominated and revolutionized by one dude. Nearly impossible to do with a sport like the NFL.

I don't think I could pick just one, like others have said there's no one standalone player. Lots of greats. Rice is definitely one of them.

Bruce Matthews is the best OL ever.
Jack Tatum is the best safety ever, maybe Rod Woodson.. but I'm almost certain he played CB also.
