This is a difficult question to answer definitively as both Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders are considered two of the greatest running backs of all time. Both players had exceptional careers, with Smith winning three Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys and Sanders being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In terms of individual accolades, Smith is the NFL's all-time leading rusher with 18,355 yards while Sanders was a 10-time Pro Bowler. When comparing the two players, it is difficult to say that one is definitively better than the other as they both had such successful careers.
