My Favorite Players list is below.  I have a hard time explaining to people why I like a certain player.  Not all my favorite players are on my favorite team.  For example,  my favorite team is Minnesota, but If you look at my top ten list only three Vikings are on it.  You don't see Randy Moss or Dante Culpepper on that list and the reason I give to people is they just haven't been in Minnesota long enough.  Although give me time, its hard not to have those two guys on your list because they bring a lot to the plate when they come to play on Sunday. 

 

Most of the players are on the list because I loved watching them play. Other players I liked for no other reason than I just did.  Here is my list:

 

 

1) Joey Browner, SS, Minnesota Vikings - I just loved watching him play!! Joey was just an assassin in football pads.  The Intimidator!!

2) Scott Studwell, MLB, Minnesota Vikings - Blood, Sweat and Tears since 1979!!  John Scott Studwell wasn't the best MLB.  He was only named to  2 Pro-Bowls, but he brought a lot to a defense that in the late 80s and early 90s was one of Football's best.

3) Aeneas Williams, CB, St. Louis Rams - Deion, Deion, Deion...Big Deal!! Aeneas WAS better, IS STILL better, and WILL ALWAYS be a better CB.  Aeneas is Pure Class!!

4) Hardy Nickerson, MLB, Green Bay Packers - Hardy is another from the Larry Centers mold.  He endured a lot of losing teams in Tampa, but was there when it turned around. I give him a lot of credit for helping that organization.

5) Simeon Rice, DE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers - The Premier Pass Rushing Specialist  for the next decade.!!

6) Herman Moore, WR, Detroit Lions - Lets face it, For a couple years Herman Moore was All-World.

7) Eddie George, RB, Tennessee Titans - No running back runs harder or tougher than Eddie.

8) Cris Carter, WR, Minnesota Vikings - What Jerry Rice did with 2 - 3 QBs, Cris Carter did with 14 or 15.  I think that tells you how good he is!!

 

1989 Score "Cris Carter" #72 RC

 

9) Pat Swilling, LB, New Orleans Saints - The best of "The best Linebacking core in football history"!!  Pat Swilling was the next Lawrence Taylor....So who is the next Pat Swilling?

 

1988 Topps "Pat Swilling" #66 RC 

 

10) Rob Moore, WR, Arizona Cardinals - Rob Moore was just a class act. Even in Arizona, Rob put up some impressive numbers. 

 

1990 ProSet "Rob Moore" #694 RC

 

Honorable Mention 11) Larry Centers, FB, Buffalo Bills - Is there any player you know that gave 110% on a losing team more than Larry Centers? He was truly the heart and soul in the Arizona desert for a long time.

Honorable Mention 12) Takeo Spikes, LB, Cincinnati Bengals - An devastating LB, with an awesome name!!  TKO!!

Honorable Mention 13) The Late Toi Cook, CB, New Orleans Saints - And last, but not least, Toi Cook because of his first name.
