that teams used to alter their offenses just to deal with him.  Indeed, he was a one man NFL highlight tape of "Greatest Hits."  The guy was a legend in his own time.  Singletary was great - no question - as were a few others, but IMHO they all paled next to Butkus.

But 45% of fans did pick DB. I'm not so old that I saw Butkus play.

Within my meager time frame I would pick Mike Singletary.
