Past or present, who are your favorite non-Steelers players? Or in the case of Jon and jj, favorite non-Raven, Giant players?
No. 1 on my list is Barry Sanders. In the late 80s and early 90s, I used to love watching Detroit play. I never saw a running back like him before or since.
And whenever he scored, he just handed the ball to the ref and trotted back to the sideline. I remember one Thanksgiving day game, Sanders had just scored, and they showed the sideline. The O-line was sitting on the bench exhausted. Sanders came over to them with an armful of cups of Gatorade. He was great on the field and off.

I second that Wally. I used to watch them growing up and I liked him and Herman Moore. Those were the days.

I'll go with another popular pick ... Jerry Rice.
The 49ers were so good for so long. I hated them. But I always loved watching Rice play. The numbers say he was the greatest receiver ever ... and it's hard to argue with that.

Although not the greatest guy off the field, Lawrence Taylor (the original LT), was a beast on the field. Probably the best pass rusher I've ever seen.

hated the team back in the day but i loved this dude and i aint talkin' 'bout the dude on the ground
Calvin Johnson. This dude is phenomenal. He plays on a crappy team (REALLY crappy) but you have never heard the dude complain and he's not begging to get out of Detroit. The guy is the definition of GAMER.
I would LOVE to have him in black and gold and have to remove this post

I know I may catch some flak for this because he's a Brownie, but how can you not respect the hell out of the way Jim Brown ran the rock? He was a beast and I've only seen highlights!
