*Disclaimer - I’m a 24 year old Englishman who’s been watching the Lions for 10 years but never really knew anything about the NFL before 2013/14
After finally watching Billy Sims highlights, he might be the most exciting Lions player I’ve ever seen but am looking for suggestions for other players!
Everyone has some good takes in this thread. Obviously, based on the era, the right answer is Barry or Calvin. Current would be like St. Brown, Hutch, Jamo, Gibbs, or Goff.
But im here to throw a curveball, and I think my era of fans (started watching right after 0-16) would agree that after Megatron, the most exciting players to watch was the QB position. Yes I said that right. Stafford and Hill. Touted as the best 1&2 QB in the league for a few years. I remember people talking about how Hill was the best backup QB in the league. So the few times he played, I was all eyes. He was mid of course, but that was something that always sticks with me. Ol’ Shaun Hill.
Honorable mentions: Javid Best, Bush and Bell tandem, Durham, Tate, Big Play Slay, Glover Quinn. Stafford Fake spike.
