Only those from the SB era qualify, so no Jim Brown, Otto Graham, etc.
My vote goes to WR Steve Largent, the all-time leader in receptions, yards, and receiving TD's when he retired but never a shot at a ring.

Largent's a good choice.
Bye Bye Brady...
Barry Sanders is the obvious choice.
But there's a case to be made for a lot of guys.
Dan Fouts was prolific and was the key to an offense that revolutionized the NFL, and he never made it to a SB. Earl Cambell was an amazing back but could never break past the Steelers. Eric Dickerson never had QB help. Randall Cunningham, Cris Carter, Ladainian Tomlinson.
The list could go on for a while.
Dick Butkus
Deacon Jones
Merlin Olsen
Bo Jackson
Chris Carter
Derrick Thomas
Willie Roaf
Demarcus Ware
Michael Jordan
I'm sure there are many others.

Barry Sanders no doubt
lets go BUFFALO lets go BUFFALO
How about O.J. ?
Gale Sayers
Eric Dickerson
Derrick Thomas, LB KC Chiefs --lousy father, but good community service guy and HOF LB
Jack Kemp, QB he's border line but if we had beaten the Chiefs in the 66 AFL title game he would have been in the first superbowl and that team was a match in so many ways for the Packers
Randall Cunningham
Warren Moon
Heywood Jeffries
Ernest Givens
Cortez Kennedy DE Seahawks
Chris Spielman, LB Lions, Bills, Browns
Pat Williams DT, Bills Vikings
Will Shields
Willie Roaf
Jerry Ball
Sterling Sharpe, TE Green Bay if he didn't get injured he would have had even better stats than Shannon
What abt no playoffs? Spikes?
Barry Sanders
Warren Moon
Dick Butkus
Tony Gonzalez
Dan Fouts
LaDainian Tomlinson,
Earl Campbell,
Ozzie Newsome
Kellen Winslow Sr
Deacon Jones
John Randle
For coach i'd say Marty Schottenheimer.

I am saying Sanders. Followed by Gonzalez.
LMAO at Jefferies and Givens. They were products of the system and Warren Moon.
Oh, and Sterling Sharpe was a great WR, not TE.
I also don't know about the '66 Bills. They lost 35-7 at home to the Chiefs who had a great defense in their own right. We were falling off. I do think the '64 team would have matched up well with the Browns and the '65 team with the Packers.

Hard to argue against Barry Sanders.
Barry Sanders is head and shoulders on top. O.J., Butkus, Sayers, Spielman, Fouts, Largent, Thomas are others.

If I just could pick one - Barry Sanders
My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.
John Hannah was pretty good...
Barry Sanders with Steve Largent a close second
Warren Moon
