Most elusive -- Gale Sayers without a doubt (in my mind).
Best RB ever -- Jim Brown.
Make it six. I voted for Sayers.A lot of you guys are very young, Gale Sayers was sick !! 5 TD's in one game, all of the different varieties, Running, Receiving & Returns all in the same game. No question Sayers & Sanders are #1 & #2 alltime (as far as elusiveness), but I'd have to say Gale Sayers was #1. Watch some highlites sometime.
Barry Sanders once cut so hard Rod Woodson's ACL snapped.

Theres a guy named Ricky Watters who was pretty good in his prime as well....Eric ****erson was one of those guys too...There are many others that can be mentioned as well as elusive runners whether they were bigger physical type backs or not.

Gale Sayers I think was just graceful and much more consistently always working downhill more than Barry.
By your question you said who was most "elusive". I think that was undoubtedly Barry. But by the same token; He lost a lot of yardage earning that elusive title. A bunch of times he broke em loose that way; but a whole lot of other times he turned those cut backs looking like end arounds into 8 yard losses too. (running behind a Detroit OL just has to suk - no matter what decade you are in.)
I forget if it was Sayers or Sanders I heard say this one (want to say Sayers): in the open field he was always looking downfield to the second or third defender and planning moves to get around them. The immediate defender? He should be easy to get around with a simple move. They were both wonderful backs, but the most thrilling runner of all remains Jim Brown. Call them two 9.9s and a 10.I belive Sanders holds the regard for most negative yardage by a running back.
