NFL.com now has senior analyst Gil Brandt busy making list and rankings during the slowest part of the offseason and his current series centers around the top all-time NFL players at each position. On Tuesday, Brandt released his all-time great running backs in NFL history rankings and three former Pittsburgh Steelers made the list.
Marion Motley, who spent his final season in the NFL with the Steelers in 1955, is ranked 24th on Brandt’s list of 27 running backs. Motley, who led the league in rushing yards in 1950, went on to register 4,720 career rushing yards, 31 career rushing touchdowns, and seven career receiving touchdowns with nearly all those stats coming as a member of the Cleveland Browns, who originally signed him in 1946 as an undrafted free agent out of Nevada.
