Honorable mention to Randy Moss, Calvin Johnson, AD, Steven jackson, Julius Peppers, Mario Williams.

double honorable mention to Vince Young for winning games.

[BleedBurgundy96]

Nice one Hurricanes25. You got me stoked.

[Gay Ork Wang]

prolly Nnamdi

[Hurricanes25]

Nice one Hurricanes25. You got me stoked.

Im guessing that you are a Redskins fan?

Santana Moss is the perfect player for me.
He went to my favorite college.
He played for my favorite team.
Now he plays for a team that I root for.

I still wish he was a Jet.

[A Perfect Score]

I know its obvious, but I like watching Chris Johnson play. Its scary when he has the ball in his hands.

Yeah im a Skins fan. Hopefully Moss has another big game vs the Cowboys Sunday for my Redskins.

[Hurricanes25]

Yeah im a Skins fan. Hopefully Moss has another big game vs the Cowboys Sunday for my Redskins.

He has a history of beating up the Cowboys in Dallas so there is definately a chance. Hopefully Campbell has enough time to hit him deep.

[CashmoneyDrew]

I have a thing for great wide receivers so probably any of Fitzgerald, Megatron, Moss, Andre Johnson.

[holt_bruce81]

Hmm this is tough, cuz I like a lot of players not on the Rams.

Matt Ryan, Peyton Manning, Chris Johnson, Brian Dawkins, Desean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Drew Brees, Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Brad Smith, Chad ocho cinco

[M.O.T.H.]

Randy Moss, Peyton Manning, AD, Patrick Willis, Sidney Rice, Cap Munnerlyn, Vincent Jackson.

[BleedBurgundy96]

He has a history of beating up the Cowboys in Dallas so there is definately a chance. Hopefully Campbell has enough time to hit him deep.

Yeah since Moss has been a Redskins he has owned the Cowboys. Hopefully it continues.

[Bob Sanders Dreadlock]

MoJo
Ed Reed
Revis

[Philliez01]

I've always been such a purist with athletes, it's usually only people who were on the team I support (though a few exceptions lie in Rick Ankiel, Joe Mauer, Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeni Nabokov, etc.) but I got a little spiel here.

Fantasy Love
Only those who have helped me win a fantasy league or stay relevant in one go in this category, I d/c about personal indiscretions, lack of heart, personal hatred, etc.

Steve Smith
I like watching the man play but my real love for Steve Smith was just because he helped me out in my first year of fantasy in 2005. I played with some of my friends from middle school in 8th grade and was really into it. I think I joined like 20 leagues. However, Steve Smith was the first "gold mine" pick I had as he exploded to beastly levels. I vote him in the fantasy hall of fame no matter what.

Kirk Morrison
Aforementioned league with middle school/high school friends (it's non-pay), we use IDPs. Kirk Morrison is the most reliable IDP I've ever owned. He's a pretty solid LB'er too but again, like Smith, I will only really recall his fantasy worth.

Draft Mancrushes
Only those who I loved as prospects

Justin Rascati
Not in the NFL, I don't care. I hyped him up soooo much before the draft and even had a sig of him.

Eric Winston
I thought he was a mammoth at LT and though his draft stock slipped dramatically from the Top-5 buzz surrounding him around this time in '05; he has at least check, turned out to be a solid OT for Houston. Again....just off my memory.

Special Players
Not in the "I am Sam" way but these players are the obvious ones. I feel like I'm witnessing something special when watching these guys perform. Quite simply, no explanations needed to justify my rationale. Just talking about those who you may tell your kids about

Adrian Peterson, Calvin Johnson, Vernon Davis, LaDainian Tomlinson, yes, Brett Favre

Mark Brunell
Before Peyton was drafted, my all-time favorite football player was Mark Brunell.....odd, yes; but I admired Brunell for quite some time. Still do.

I had some free time.

[vidae]

Jared Allen
Brian Dawkins

Chris Johnson

Randy Moss

oh and Ochocinco

[derza222]

Chad Ochocinco and Brian Westbrook.

[Raider_fan_Canada]

That guy!
http://www.cyberpresse.ca/images/bizphotos/435x290/200909/20/109801-quart-arriere-vikings-brett-favre.jpg

He's even my favorite player in the entire NFL I think. I love him to death and hope he can play until he's 50 years old and he can decide a week before every season as far as Im concerned (Im not a Vikings fan!, but lets say I will be one come the playoffs...). I love Peyton Manning too but Brett has so much more carisma and is so fun to watch.

A few others: AD, CJ, MJD, Troy Polamalu.

The final guy is shocking to me because how much I hate rival players, but he's great to watch and I respect the **** outta him.

[SuperMcGee]

Not my favorite, but considering how much I hated him a few years ago, and that he is still on the Dolphins, I really have come to like Ricky Williams.

My favorite would probably be this guy:

http://oneseasontrader.com/wp-content/uploads/Carolina_DeAngeloWilliams.jpg


And then a bunch of tight ends, led by Zach Miller.

[General Zod]

http://z.about.com/d/football/1/0/5/P/PeytonManning7a.jpg

When he is on his game, he will pick apart any defense. He might have the highest football IQ in the NFL. Id put it up against most coaches. Dont fool yourself by thinking Indy has an offensive coord. This guy runs the show. Period. Us holding him to ridiculously high standards is the norm.

Also his commercials make me laugh.

[wicket]

I have a couple (will not include ND guys),
Jacob Hester
Wes Welker
Patrick Willis
Ray Rice
Chris Cooley

[Sniper]

Charles Woodson, Tom Brady, David Harris, LaMarr Woodley, Jake Long, Chad Henne, Braylon Edwards Mario Manningham, Leon Hall, Marlin Jackson, Ty Law...you get the point.

Non-UMers...

Randy Moss
Larry Fitzgerald
Ed Reed
Nnamdi Asomugha
Chad Ochocinco
Vernon Davis

and a host of others.

[CJSchneider]

For the 49ers, It would be Drew Brees

For the Saints it would be Jared Allen

[eaglesalltheway]

It's hard for me to pick one, but here are my top guys...
Peyton
D Ware
Witten
Hutchinson
J Allen
P Willis
B Leonard
J Ratliff
B Jacobs
and of course Dawk

Sorry for the lazy typing, it happens when you can't use you finger and thumb though, lol. Take notice there are lot of rival team's players. I may hate the team, but since I love football so much, its hard for me to hate their players, especially since most of them are good guys, not to mention great players.

Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford.

I had a class with Erik Walden the year he got drafted by the Cowboys. Dude was cool and nice as hell.

[619]

Not going to include any USC guys or this list could get quite long.

Maurice Jones-Drew, DeSean Jackson, Matt Ryan, Josh Freeman, Jeremy Maclin, Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree.

[superman8456]

Just Tuck is boss.

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/si/2009/writers/ross_tucker/06/19/mail/cameron-wake.jpg
You'll hear about him soon enough. Cameron Wake is an awesome pass rusher.

http://cdn2.sbnation.com/photo_images/52031/45469_Bengals_Maualuga.jpg
Rey Maualuga is my mancrush.

[tjsunstein]

This is so hard to break down to a couple individual players but there are players at every position on the field that I root for. I wouldn't consider them any of my favorite players aside from Lord Favre.

Quarterback
1. Brett Favre
2. Peyton Manning

There aren't many other quarterbacks that I'm in love with really. I root for these guys to do well every Sunday.

Running Back/Fullback
1. Steve Slaton
2. Ronnie Brown
3. Chris Johnson
4. Peyton Hillis

Wide Reciever
1. Anquan Boldin
2. Wes Welker

Tight End
1. Owen Daniels
2. Tony Gonzalez

Offensive Line
1. Jake Long
2. Ryan Clady

Gotta love the young left tackles.

Defensive Line
1. Mario Williams
2. Haloti Ngata

Linebackers
1. Elvis Dumervil
2. Thomas Davis
3. Jon Beason
4. Demeco Ryans

Defensive Backs
1. Darelle Revis
2. Darren Sharper
3. Laron Landry
4. Troy Polamalu

Just guys off the top of my head.

Dude, C'mon maaan.

[Ravens1991]

http://masnsports.com/bart_scott.jpg


I always have a soft spot in my heart during his 2006 season, the problem w/ him was after 2006 season he acted like he was as good during his 2006 season. But the guy was nasty in 2006.

[Bengals78]

Id go with Jared Allen and D-Ware.

Adrian Peterson is up there outta sheer respect for how he plays the game and never seems to come off as an a$$

[BleedBurgundy96]

Should be a Steeler, dammit!!

I had him going to the Steelers in my mock draft. It didnt turn out as I had planned.

Dude, C'mon maaan.

Whats wrong with Favre? Hes easily my favorite non Redskin.

[Bengals78]

He is a Packers fan....topic is still sensitive I think

[Hines]

He would've gone there if the Jets didn't trade up one pick in front of the Steelers to pick Revis. But I am happy with Timmons so far. Ike Taylor, Revis, Poly, and Clark would've been so nasty and with our pass rush? Oh lord.

[BleedBurgundy96]

He is a Packers fan....topic is still sensitive I think

Oh LOL. It makes sense now.

He would've gone there if the Jets didn't trade up one pick in front of the Steelers to pick Revis. But I am happy with Timmons so far. Ike Taylor, Revis, Poly, and Clark would've been so nasty and with our pass rush? Oh lord.

The Steelers defense w/ Revis would be just out of this world insane.

[Jvig43]

Adrian Peterson easily. I love watching this kid play. Drew Brees, always felt he never got the credit the man deserved.

[fenikz]

besides them miami boys

Kerry Rhodes
DeAngelo Williams
Aso
Captain Munnerlyn
Josh Freeman
Andre Woodson
Sammie Stroughter

and because of my love of scottyboy

Raymell Rice and Brian Leonard

[vikes_28]

I like Ray Rice, Andre Johnson, Larry Foote, Clay Matthews (because of his story), and Marques Colston.

oh man, you gatta love Chris Cooley. Definitely one of the more entertaining guys in the league who don't get fined. haha. Oh, and he's got a hot wife :D.

[Unbiased]

Trent Cole.

Love the way he plays. Love that he was overlooked in the draft and still made it. And we went to the same high school.

And he has a pretty sweet truck with monster tires.

[BleedBurgundy96]

oh man, you gatta love Chris Cooley. Definitely one of the more entertaining guys in the league who don't get fined. haha. Oh, and he's got a hot wife :D.

I have seen both his wins, and I have to admit, he's really won me over. I wanted him to do well when people were saying that Sanchez should have been the Lions' pick, so I have been following him. What a freaking gutsy performance yesterday, even if it was against Cleveland.
