I did this in the baseball subreddit yesterday, and it seemed like people had fun with it, so I thought I’d do the same with football. The only rule is that you can’t use one player to cover two decades, so if you want to use Dan Marino or someone like him, you have to choose one decade for him to represent and find a different player for the other decade. Anyways, I’ll start:

60s - Len Dawson

70s - Willie Lanier

80s - Deron Cherry

90s - Derrick Thomas

00s - Tony Gonzalez

10s - Jamaal Charles

20s - Patrick Mahomes
