Wow, Logans, had no idea. Growing up in MPLS and not paying attention the AFC and subsequently moving to MIami where all I hear is he was a UM legend, (b4 my time for college dayz) I assumed the best, especially after seeing how caring he is for his handicapped son. Seeing him on ESPN was a tearjerker, I believe his name is Hunter.....can't remember the exact illness he suffers from.
Warrick Dunn is a great person. After losing his mother (Col. Betty Smothers) to a shooting (she was a Baton Rouge police officer), Warrick helped raise his younger siblings while in college and then after making it big in the NFL, he donates a house each year to single parent mother's who are in need of a break.
Nice guy. Class act.

No, no ...
I'm not nominating Kelly.
If I HAD to pick a Bill it would be Thurman Thomas. I met him after the "miracle at Rich" and he could barely walk - he didn't say a word the whole game, and even more impressive he stayed out in the snow talking to a bunch of us kids and signing dozens of autographs for nearly an hour.

Who cares about humble, these guys are entertainers. I don't think people would pay $50-200 a ticket to watch a bunch of Sunday ministers running around in helmets. Lets have emotion, lets have excitement. Humble is for golf.
I personally love guys like Ray Lewis and Terrell Owens, and guys like Jon Gruden and Dick Vermeil on the sidelines, guys that show all the passion there should be in football. Everyone makes a lot of money, but few show how much they love to be at the top of the game.

Gentlemen and Ladies,
Don't mean to speak ill of the dead, but I wouldn't throw Walter Payton into the mix.
Great public personna. In private he was screwing every woman (mostly white suburban) that worked in his restaurants. Some women wouldn't be hired if they didn't want to play his games.
In addition, he shot one of his business partners in his office. Apparently, he didn't know the gun was loaded when he pointed it and pulled the trigger. Anyone else would have been serving some time but nothing ever happened to Walter.
As a side note, Walter once shot Otis Wilson's dog during a hunting segment being filmed for television.
Did Walter use steroids? For a guy that never drank or smoked dying of liver cancer at his age was a little unusual.
The greatest running back that ever lived but his private life was hardly exemplary.

Any of the NE Pats...Yeah ,yeah I am a homer.
Only 2 players going to the pro bowl..with a 14-2 record..There is not one player on that team that talks about "me" its always "we".
They are the best sports franchise in Boston top to bottom maybe ever with the eception of maybe the old Celts.
