Eric Dickerson

Imagine arguing Eric Dickerson's GOAT status and not bringing up those goggles and that ridiculous record-smashing 2,105-yard season. It's like trying to explain why 'Star Wars' is good without mentioning Darth Vader. The man turned NFL defenses into dust and left fans arguing over stats like they were trading Pokémon cards in the schoolyard. And those jerseys? You’d think they were stitched with some kind of magic the way fans cling to them at games. Choosing anyone else in GoatWars feels like a betrayal to the '80s themselves.
