Ron Yary and Kellin Wenslow Sr. Yary was were I got my high school number. How many years did he lead the league in penalties? Scott Studwell of the Vikes was one of my other favorites, I thought his crazy eyes were cool.

All good Iowans quickly associate Roby and Gable with Waterloo.
I think the allure with Roby was so strong because he was a key in turning around the program under Fry.

I'm 24 and I bet you will be suprised by my favorites. Dick Butkus Jim Brown Nightrain Lane Crazylegs Hirsch
I am addicted to NFL Films, and I even make my players watch them now. I think its good as football fans and coaches to know where we come from.

OMG .. no one mentioned the TEXAS PEARL Earl Campbell.. I loved Earl. We also like Christian Okoya but my all all time favorite had to be Ricky Bell. He ran with grace it was a shame he got ill.

Herschel Walker trucking Bill Bates for a TD in Knoxville is still my favorite all time play.
Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, David Pollack, Andy Katzenmoyer, Ronnie Lott are probably my favorite to watch all time.
I also liked Chuck Cecil.

lawerence taylor changed the game. changed how teams look at protection. changed the way defenses used their "athletes". he's the real LT
other "game changers"
bob hayes -- changed secondary schemes
michael vick may have "changed" the college game. now, everyone wants a qb that can throw but has his athletic ability

1. Cris Carter- All he does is catch touchdowns 2. Deion Sanders- Watching him about to return a punt was the most exciting moment of a game 3. Michael Irvin- Playmaker, enough said 4. Bruce Smith- loved watching him break records 5. Randy Moss- best player i have ever seen in my opinion

Chris Doleman, Keith Millard, Al Noga, and who ever the Vikings put in as the 4th d-lineman. They could get after a QB.

Sticking with college, my first favorite player was Reggie Roby. the man who wore a wrist watch during games. I remember him when he was in college. booming kickoffs.

Offense: Walter Payton always amazed me and was a complete back who could do everything. Barry Sanders was and Michael Vick is fun to watch.
Defense: Lawrence Taylor, Ronnie Lott, Steve Atwater, and Ray Lewis.
