Savage Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Mine is Casey Hampton of the Pittsburgh Steelers. prototypical nose tackle of his time. 3 1 Quote
gonzo1105 Posted September 16 Posted September 16 I was always a big Dallas Clark fan. Made a name for himself but he was kind of the lost man of that top offense back in the day but super reliable for Manning, great hands and had a couple of big seasons when teams were taking away Harrison and Wayne amongst others. 1 Quote
BuffaloRebound Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Whitehead on tampa then the jets now back at tampa. Love how he plays. Physical but not stupid. kind of a poor man’s rodney harrison. A winning player. Quote
gomper Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Ricky Proehl. 17 seasons. 6 teams. So effective, that the Rams greatest show on turf, had to find a place for him. Money on 3rd down. Great route runner and a terrific possession receiver. 2 1 Quote
Draconator Posted September 16 Posted September 16 When I was a young kid and played 8th grade town football, I wore #83, in honor of John Jefferson of the San Diego Chargers. Still one of my all-time favorite players. 1 Quote
bobobonators Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Not under the radar. But Minshew seems like he’d be cool to hang and have a beer. 4 Quote

scuba guy Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Well he name is easy to remember. And is and will always be a great leader among men. Everyone who leaves the nfl behind to fight for his country is got my vote. Thank you Patrick Tillman 7 5 6 Quote
Alphadawg7 Posted September 16 Posted September 16 Napolean Kaufman - RB - Raiders who retired in his prime. He wasn't the biggest guy, but he was literally the strongerst player on his team out benching and out squating the biggest of guys as a smaller framed RB yet still lightning fast. I will never forget when he laid out 2 dallas all pro defensive lineman in Dallas one year, where on one of them he picked the guy up over his head and flipped him behind him. It was nuts...then he was also blazing fast. Woefully underused in Oakland, forced to split carries with Harvey Williams. I loved watching him play for the Huskies in college, so followed him in the NFL despite he got stuck on the Raiders. 2 1 Quote

His kid was DRAFTED by the Bills. Think it was Beane's first draft in 18. Quote

Ever since he torched Dallas when he played for Hurts in Philly the other year, I became a fan. He just wins vs. good teams. Quote
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 16 Posted September 16 I always thought Kevin Mawae was just such a steady and superb center. I think he played for like 17 years and basically all of it at an all-pro level. 3 1 Quote

What the government did to cover up his cause of death and the overall treatment of many veterans of those conflicts is truly saddening and infuriating. His family deserved the truth but the military lied at first to avoid the issue that we did have of soldiers dying accidently of friendly fire due to piss poor training and planning. What I find very interesting and respectable about his character is the multiple opportunities he had to take larger pay days and material comforts but refused. The Rams offered him a much bigger new contract than what the Cardinals offered and he chose to stay with the Cardinals because they took a chance on him with a late pick, despite the fact he lost millions doing so. Halfway through his military contract, the Seahawks and NFl offered him an early out. Strings could have been pulled to get him out of his military contract 1.5 years early to make millions and be safe. He refused because he signed a 3 year commitment and would finish it. His honor and honesty was important to him. When you have NFL players screwing over the teams that took a chance on drafting them all for a bigger pay day and only caring about money, his loyalty is why he's one of my favorite players ever Edited September 16 by ProcessImproverMan 2 2 Quote
MPL Posted September 16 Posted September 16 I worked at Old Dominion University when Taylor Heinicke played there. He really helped that program gain some momentum while it was still in it's early years. His career has been really interesting to follow. He's kind of like a worse Ryan Fitzpatrick, but he plays with a ton of heart. 2 2 Quote
Jay_Fixit Posted September 16 Posted September 16 He became really good but even so, always seemed under the radar. Quietest 8800 yard career I can remember. Terance Mathis. 1 Quote

The Commanders are my second team behind the Bills (lived in Virginia for some time and have good friends who are huge fans) and absolutely agree. He was one of my favorite players to watch due to the heart. It was clear the difference between him and Wentz/Howell with that team. Washington went from an 8-8-1 record to the basement last year (4-13) when he left and I think that played a role. Edited September 16 by ProcessImproverMan Quote
