For me, I’ll of course never forget the way that Ben would shrug off defenders. How he’d extend plays, hut long accurate throws in stride. Even the shovel passes.
Of course seeing Troy and his hair flying about on seemingly every play. His ability to constantly get there and affect games was legendary. Whether timing the snap count, or somehow scooping interceptions off the ground one handed.
To today and seeing TJ massively impact games at critical moments. Getting key sacks, and turnovers that have kept the team in countless games.
What are some favorites over the years?
For me it was Rod Woodson. He embodied everything that my younger self thought great football player were. I remember taking my ailing father to a Steelers game/ Jets game (live in NJ) and I got end zone seats in the first few rows. Woodson was returning kickoffs in those days and he caught a kickoff in the far end zone from us and ran it back 90 yards for a go-ahead touchdown and it’s literally burned into my memories especially when I think back on my father. Fast forward to the pandemic and my wife got me a Cameo video from Rod himself wishing me a happy birthday. He also sent me a HOF signed Jersey that wasn’t described in the video my wife paid for ($80 for the Cameo , if that) and I thought that was super cool so I messaged him on social media to thank him and sent him a pic of it hangin in my man cave and he responded and I just felt the whole thing ha was pretty amazing
