Also known as the “Kansas Comet,” Sayers was a highly elusive runner when he played for the Chicago Bears in the 1960’s. Another runner who took the league by storm from the start, Sayers had a ridiculous rookie season, in which he scored 22 rushing touchdowns. This number was aided by his record-setting six touchdown game against the San Francisco 49ers. While he accomplished this feat in his first year in the league, the single-game record still stands today. While knee injuries shortened his career, Sayers was still deserving of his 1977 induction into the Hall of Fame.
