On November 8, 1970, Tom Dempsey of New Orleans Saints kicked an NFL record 63 yard field goal against the Detroit Lions at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans. Dempsey kicked four field goals that day against the Lions, the final and record breaker with two seconds left gave the Saints a come-from-behind-victory of 19-17. \n\nDempsey was born without a right foot and with no right hand. He was fitted with an artificial foot in childhood, and it is with that wooden foot, encased in a modified football shoe, that he kicked field goals and extra points.

Barry Sanders.\nHe played for an aweful team and most seasons an aweful line and still was able to produce. He has the best cutbacks, almost unhuman. He did things that should have broken his ankles and knees. He was the best at changing direction at the right time to completely fake out the entire defense. He easily would have had the most yards all-time if he could of standed playing for one of the worst franchises in all of sports!

1985 Mike Dika was carried of the field best defense in the history of NFL 127 million people wacthed that game.\nWith the frig-carrying to ball around 2 weeks later a tape was sent to china and broad casted,\n300 million people watched it for William Perry was one famous person not just in the U.S.A. but the whole world.

It's got to be Larry Johnson for sure.  Finally given a chance to start, he finally reminded everyone why he was a first round draft pick.  As the starter for nine games, he managed to rush for over 1350 yards and to score 16 TDs.  It's unthinkable what he could have done if he was the starter for the whole season.  He is also a pass receiving threat as well.  He is the real deal!

Moron, Walter Payton (notice the spelling and capitalization) RB for the Chicago Bears played in the NFL from 1975 through 1987.  Tim Brown WR for the Oakland Raiders played from 1988 through 2004.  Do you think Tim Brown a Wide Receiver set a career rushing record in one year?\n\nHe broke Jim Brown's NFL career rushing record against the New Orleans Saints in Chicago in October of 1984.\n\nTo the first person that answered this question you are almost as stupid as the person asking it.  If you knew anything about football you would have known that Walter Payton set the single game rushing record against the Minnesota Vikings (I believe 275 yards in one game) next time you answer a question make sure its something you know about little girl.

Jerry Rice, because in my opinion he was the greatest football player that I have ever seen in my era (ok I'm only 25 yrs old give me a break here) :)  Ok, the greatest player while he was playing for the 49ers anyway, he made some awesome runs to make it into the endzone and ducks and dodges so many people like it's a cakewalk.  Then he does that funky chicken dance when he makes a touchdown.  lol

I know the shortest was by a Dallas Cowboy named Randell Williams.\n\nPhiladelphia tried an onside kick and he ran it back for a touchdown on the opening play.\n\nIt was also a record for the fastest touchdown ever in a game.
