Don't get it twisted. Corey Dillon put up numbers when the Bengals where in one of the darkest times in NFL history.

And to add onto this, Frank has played most of his career with garbage QBs like Alex Smith, which of course meant that opposing teams stacked the box with at least 8 players. Couldn't imagine the numbers he would have put up with a half competent passing game and QB so defenses didnt ONLY have to worry about him.

1. Barry Sanders
2. Marshall Faulk
3. Ricky Williams
4. Jerome Bettis
5. Frank Gore
*Adrian Peterson - has the potential to move up to #1 or #2. We'll know in the next couple seasons.
Dudes like Terrell Davis, Jamal Lewis and Ladanian Tomlinson benefited from run heavy offenses and a good O-line for a few seasons.

If Frank never had those surgeries he would of done some amazing stuff in this league. The open field break away speed, the ridiculous jump cuts, etc he lost a lot of it before entering the NFL. Then again if he didn't have those surgeries he wouldn't of been a niner. :/

That Chiefs team that went 13-3 was one of the funnest teams to watch. Priest and Larry

Willis McGahee deserves a mention as well. Just like Gore, he was derailed by injuries.

Dude tore his knee up twice and still be getting off and he was so good as a fr that Willis had to line up at fb to get playing time at Miami
Willis wouldn't have a nfl career if gore didn't tear his knee up before the season

Brian Westbrook, Faulk, AP and LT all come to mind. These guys put in work on a consistent basis.
Larry Johnson and Chris Johnson come to mind as well, but I can't put them in a high category because they haven't produce for a significant amount of time.
If you're going by pure talent alone--I'd probably have to go with Ricky Williams. He could've been an incredible player had he had his head on right. It's a shame too, because he didn't want any of the fame and success.
