This is a list of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-detroit-lions-running-backs/ranker-nfl?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best Detroit Lions</a> of all time. Formed in 1929 in Portsmouth, Ohio, the team known as the Lions put down roots in Detroit in 1934. Despite the failings of the past half century, the Lions have won four NFL championships with the last being in 1957. Despite having only one playoff win since then, the Lions have had several Hall of Fame players on its roster, including debatebly the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-nfl-running-backs-of-all-time"> best running back of all time</a>. There is a long period where the Lions didn&#39;t have any of the best players in team history, but in recent years, the Lions have made up for their lean years by drafting some of the best young talent in football.

The 1950s and early 1960s were a prosperous time for the Lions. With quarterback Bobby Layne at the helm, these Lions teams featured some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-football-players-ever">best players ever</a>. Doak Walker, Dick &quot;Night Train,&quot; Lem Barney and Joe Schmidt all played for the Lions during this time. In 1989, the Lions drafted running back Barry Sanders, who is not only one of the most popular star players the Lions have ever had, but one of the best ever. Those Lions teams also had great Lions players like Herman Moore as well. Today, Lions stars Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford and Ndamukong Suh all have potential to be some of the best players in Lions history.

<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/new-england-patriots-hall-of-famers/ranker-sports" target="_blank">Check out all the Patriots Hall of Famers!</a> 
This is a list of the best New England Patriots of all time. Prior to 1993, the New England Patriots were one of the laughingstocks of the entire NFL. The team had a small degree of the success in the mid 1970s but outside of a lone Super Bowl appearance after the 1985 season, the Patriots were a franchise stuck in the proverbial mud. Those aforementioned teams had some solid players, but few if any were considered the best in team history. Enter Bill Parcells. After the Tuna left the team, the foundation for success was in place. Parcells acquired some of the greatest former Patriots ever including Ty Law, Drew Bledsoe, Adam Vinatieri and Tedy Bruschi.

It wasn&#39;t until Bill Belichick took over at the beginning of the 2000 season that many of the best Patriots players in team history were added to the roster. Tom Brady isn&#39;t only considered one of the most famous players in Patriots history, but one of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-quarterbacks-of-all-time">the greatest quarterbacks of all time</a>. Randy Moss, Troy Brown, Wes Welker, Rodney Harrison and Richard Seymour are considered the top players in Patriots history and all played for the team under the Belichick era. The team nearly made history in 2007 when it won every single it played until a shocking Super Bowl defeat to the New York Giants ended the Patriots hopes of being the second undefeated team in NFL history. No matter what you think of the Patriots, this list contains many of the best players during the team&#39;s run of success.

This list of the best New England Patriots of all time includes every player from the team&#39;s history. If you notice someone missing, feel free to add him to this list. Vote or rerank the list according to who you think should be considered the best in Patriots history.

Those early Los Angeles teams had Hall of Famers like Elroy &quot;Crazy Legs&quot; Hirsch, Norm Van Brocklin and Tom Fears whose popularity allowed the team to become the first NFL team to have its games broadcasted on television. In the '60s, the Rams had one of the most feared defensive lines in the league and some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-defenders-in-nfl-history?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best defensive players</a> in Rams history. Deacon Jones and Merlin Olsen led the &quot;Fearsome Foursome&quot; and though the team was successful, it didn't make much hay in the playoffs.After the team moved to St. Louis in 1995, it took a while, but after a few years of great drafting, the Rams again had one of the best offenses in the league.

Miami Dolphins

List of the best Miami Dolphins of all time. Since their formation in 1966 as part of the AFL, the Miami Dolphins have been one of the most successful teams in AFC history. From the beginning of the 1970s through the early 2000s, Miami was the standard bearer for excellence in the conference. During this nearly 30 year run of success, the Dolphins had many of the best players in its history on its roster. The dominant Dolphins Super Bowl teams of the 1970s had some of the top players in the league on the team. With head coach Don Shula as the constant, the Dolphins fielded what some consider to be the best team of all time in 1972 when they went an unmatched 17-0, the only NFL team to go undefeated during a single season.&nbsp;

Many of the team&#39;s best players were on the 1972 undefeated, Super Bowl winning team. Hall of Fame players like Larry Csonka, Paul Warfield, Bob Griese and Larry Little to name a few are considered some of the best Dolphins ever. While the players on that team are memorable, perhaps the most famous Dolphins player is star quarterback Dan Marino, who is one of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-quarterbacks-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best quarterbacks of all time</a>.
