I am suffering from football withdrawal, but I was wondering: who is your favorite NFL player to ever play the game?
My favorite player is John Elway:
1. He holds the record for most comebacks in NFL games.
2. Elway won a lot of playoff games and two Superbowls.
3. He was an excellent scrambler.
4. Elway made clutch plays in important games like "The Drive" against Cleveland.
5. He usually didn't have a lot of great players on his team. Elway didn't have the talent around him that Aikman, Bradshaw, or Montana had.
6. Elway was a very tough player. He took hits and kept going.
7. He did not disgrace himself, his team, or the league with off-field problems.
8. He is in the Hall of Fame.
Elway's accomplishments:
148 games won as a starting quarterback - NFL Record
47 game-winning or game-tying drives in the fourth quarter - NFL Record
5-time Super Bowl starting quarterback - NFL Record
50,000+ career passing yards and 3,000+ career rushing yards - NFL Record
7 consecutive seasons with 3000+ passing yards and 200+ rushing yards - NFL Record
NFL Most Valuable Player - 1987
Super Bowl Most Valuable Player - Super Bowl XXXIII
9-time Pro Bowl selection
3-time All Pro selection
Ranks second all-time to only Dan Marino in passing yardage, attempts, completions and 3,000-yard seasons Ranks third all-time in touchdown passes 16 seasons played (234 games) - All with the Denver Broncos

Elway is great, but since I've just gotten interested in football fairly recently, I'd go with Torry Holt

I am glad Favre had a good season last year. I hope he does well this year. Holt is fun to watch.

Barry Sanders no doubt in my mind the things he did were jst amazing. Granted I believe he has the record 4 most yrds lost, but wow the things he could do.

Well, while you guys are all picking the big name players (retired or not) I'm going with Jeremy Shockey. He's the most underrated TE in the NFL. He IS the heart and soul of the New York Giants. He's emotional (in a good way) and gritty. He's a great guy off the field, but you don't want to make him angry on the field. Basically, he's the player no one recognizes but everyone wants on their team.

My favorite play I saw Shocky make was when he got his helmet knocked off, but he still charged into two defenders, it was epic.

Shockey makes amazing plays when he is healthy. I hope he stays healthy this year. I also like to watch Tomlinson run. He is amazing.
