Charles Barkley
Charles Barkley was one of the most fearsome players who ever lived. 6 ft 6 and 260 pounds, he was extremely pesky and crafty during his time. His behavior made the league even create a rule after him, named The Booty Rule. Barkley would frequently use his butt to block defenders for 20 seconds before shotting. The league stated that no player below the free-throw line could do this for longer than 5 seconds.

Deion Sanders
Sanders reappears on this list for his second rule that occurred, this one was having to with the NFL signing large bonuses. In 1955 Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made it so they didn’t have to pay Sanders a large amount for the first three years of his contract, and also gave him a $12.99 million bonus to avoid a huge cap hit. The NFL was forced to enact a rule stating that portions of large signing bonuses would be incorporated into salary sums for the year. This way teams could not find loopholes in the system for their benefit.
