#10: Terrell Owens

Not much else needs to be said. Owens is the second all-time leading receiver in NFL history, trailing only Jerry Rice. He was impossible to cover in his prime and was the best player on the field when his Philadelphia Eagles fell to New England in his only Super Bowl. The fact he did that having actually broken his leg during the season? It just rams home how much of a physical freak he was. A true specimen that doesn’t come around often.

People may be opposed to his placement on this list though. There’s no doubt that Owens was a hard man to like. He was a selfish player throughout his career, which is why he could never stick on one team for too long. He alienated a lot of people and burned a lot of bridges. Yet the fact remains when it comes to the bottom line, he was an all-time great football player. One who did more than enough to deserve a ring.
