When you think of the history of baseball, one of the first, if not the first, name that comes to mind is Babe Ruth. Is Ruth the best baseball player of all time? Probably not, but he is admittedly the face of and poster boy for baseball. Basketball has Michael Jordan. Hockey has Wayne Gretzky. Football has... Well I'm not sure football has a clear cut Babe Ruth.
Is it Joe Montana? Montana won 4 Super Bowls with the 49ers, and was named Super Bowl Mvp 3 times. He also has the most playoff wins by a quarterback in Nfl history.

Is it Jim Brown? Brown led the Nfl in all-purpose yards a record five times, and left the Nfl as the all time leader in almost every major statistical rushing category.
Is it Barry Sanders? Sanders is carefully one of the most intriguing players of all time. If he wanted it, he would be the Nfl's all time important rusher, but he retired notoriously retired early at the age of 31 while still healthy.
Is it Walter Payton? Payton is often seen as the benchmark by which all other running backs are measured. Sweetness was a dominant force throughout his career, winning Super Bowl Xx along the way.
Is it Jerry Rice? Take a look at the record books and it is laughable how far ahead Rice is in every receiving category. Rice was also named the greatest player in Nfl history by Nfl Films and Nfl.com. He is a three time Super Bowl winner and one time Super Bowl Mvp.
There are any more names that could make this list and it would be hard for anything to disagree with any of them, but my point is there is no clear cut sass on who is the poster boy for the Nfl. And if it's not clear cut then there is no Babe Ruth of the Nfl.
You may have noticed that I didn't put any defensive players on the list. Remember, this isn't a list of the greatest players of all time, and the Nfl is an offense driven league, especially in the eyes of casual fans. I don't think the normal communal would accept a defensive player as the face of the Nfl. In fact, in a 2010 Nfl.com poll, fans did not put a singular defensive player in the top ten players of all time.
