There's an argument that Edelman is the third best slot receiver to play for the Pats after Welker and Troy Brown. Love me some Jules but he has no business in a conversation with the other names being thrown around in this thread.
I'm a Barry Sanders guy at RB but can't argue with Jim Brown. Fuck Emmitt Smith, though. He's kind of like Jeter to me, a no-doubt HOFer who is simultaneously massively overrated. He ran behind great O-lines on great teams in his prime, and had incredible durability for a RB so he played forever and piled up a ton of stats. I can live with Jim Brown over Barry as GOAT but not Emmitt Smith.
