This Week

11th seed - DB Ronnie Lott vs 21st seed - RB Gale Sayers
14th seed - DE Deacon Jones vs 20th seed - QB Tom Brady

Seeds are based on a ranking from NFL.com. I did not include the two offensive linemen that are in the top 24.

I voted Gale Sayers, but am close to switching.

Only voting on player vs player that I've seen play-not fair to do on hearsay regarding Sayers

I'm a big fan of Gale Sayers, but he just does not have the longevity on his resume to compete with anyone on Ronnie's level.
