You could probably add Gale Sayers just under these two. Only a 6 or 7 year career and still a HOF'er. Would have had much better career stats w/o the career ending injury. I'm not sure Emmit is in my top 5 for all time.

With respect, no cares where you have Emmit in your all time list of top RBs.
The issue is how legacy score is determined. And if it goes by stats (which is the only logical way such a score can be determined) Emmit should be above Payton.
