No wrong answers here friends! Let’s keep the good vibes going in our sub share which player in our history is your personal favorite.

Terrell Davis: I was only 10 the year we won our first SB. During the regular season he and some other players came to our grade school. I won the book reading challenge for my grade so I got to have lunch with TD. I asked him he would could just play catch instead of eating because my dad took off on us so I didn’t have anyone to throw the ball to me anymore. He had me run routes and threw to me, taught me how to take handoffs, and even let me tackle him. Then he asked my teacher if I could stay out of class to eat since we skipped lunch. He sat in the cafeteria with me for an hour and listened to all of my favorite plays of his. He gave me his jersey he was wearing and told me to take good care of it. I wore it in school pictures for 3 years in a row. I wore it when we faced the packers in the SB. Terrell Davis is the reason we won that game. And I still wear it when I watch games as an adult in my mid 30s. As an adult and father I think about that and realize that he didn’t have to do any of that shit, he just did it to make some kids day. TD is a genuinely good human.

so much to love about this guy. Sixth round draft pick originally slated to be a 4th or 5th string RB. Destined for practice squad or ST. Ended up earning the starting spot after one preseason.

Went on to have one of the greatest single seasons in RB history. Super bowl MVP. NFL MVP. NFL OPOTY. Absolutely annihilated opponents in the post-season. Earned a place in the HOF despite only having a 7 year career. Mastered the mile high salute.

love me some TD
