Dickerson, was another very good player, who was a bit of a workhorse at times, I don't remember him having the lightning speed of either Sanders or Jackson though.
Neither Sanders nor Jackson were TD machines, they were not the sort of player to pound the ball up the middle and earn the tough yards and gain the first downs. For Jackson as was pointed out earlier he had Marcus Allen, who once Jackson reported for duty after his baseball commitments reverted to being the fullback on the team. But that is how good Jackson was, that someone like Marcus Allen had to immediately defer to this uber talented player. Sanders could be a bit more of a boom or bust player, he had so many instances where he was tackled for a loss, but even those could be some of the more exciting plays, making players miss.
