Answer 10

As a kid it was Dan Fouts (plus all his receivers). I remember once he had like 450 yards passing and I thought that was really cool.

Now .... you never seem to have favorites like you did when you were young. I'm hoping Ginn Jr. steps up and becomes a superstar because his dad is a pretty class act.

Now: Adrian Peterson (Vikings)

Answer 12

As a kid it was Dan the man Marino

Now it's Julius Peppers and Steve Smith  

Answer 13

My favorite football player was John Elway. There was never a more better quarterback. If the game was on the line and you needed the drive of all drives in the 4th quarter he was the guy to get it done. As for now I think it has to be Brett Favre. I dont know mayb it's just me but I liked the old young guys in the 90's like Aikman,Young,Marino and Elway and Favre. The quarterback's were the key to a team and Favre is the last of those guys. He brings a sense of anything can happen in the last moment.
