Millennial as well. My all time favorite player was Terrence McGee. Had he been on the Cowboys, he would’ve been a household name. Very good corner and elite return man. The tandem of McGee on KR and Roscoe Parrish returning punts was crazy.  
 

Forget the fact that he didn’t score. This is one of the sickest returns I’ve ever seen. I know every Bills fan has seen it, but this is what I show other fans if they don’t know. 
 

 

The Greatest Stealth Punch to the Balls play ever occurs at 23 seconds of this video.  It’s dirty, but it’s beautiful. 

 

its perfectly executed.  Bills and Saints player were running towards each other, and when Bills player ran past him full speed, delivered the perfect nut shot.  Bills player kept running, and was nowhere near Saints player who dropped at terminal velocity, clutching his nuts in agony.  Not to mention, McGee ran like 160 yards, with blockers and defenders running back and forth acoss the field, refs trying to keep up….in that chaos no ref  is gonna catch that glorious nut shot.

 

On TBD about 20 years ago, we had a big thread- investigation as to which Bill delivered the perfect nut shot.  We studied that play like it was the Zapruder Film.  I don’t think we ever solved it.  We came up with a few possibilities.  
 

So please, go watch this magnificent nut shot.  Which Bills player did it?

Is it weird that all my favorite players never played for Buffalo?   My two favorites are Joe Montana and Curtis Martin.  I've been collecting their memorabilia for decades.

Met Eric Moulds right after he got drafted at my friends house in Rochester. He came with Gabe Northern,  He was in the basement by himself and I immediately recognized him from watching the draft,  I talked to him for a while. Instantly became a favorite.

 

Of course Bruce, met him when they had the Lakers exhibition game at the aud. Most of the team was there.

Bruce had a Hawaiian shirt on and he was a massive man. I told him he was my favorite player, didn't know what else to say.

Kyle Williams has to be my top player but Jerry Butler is another that I wish could have shown his full potential, unfortunately his injury derailed a very promising career one of which I think he would have been one of the best WR's that the Bills could have had . 

 

Another player that had the lunch pail Bills DNA was Aaron Schobel the guy was relentless & his production you could always depend on & just showed up & did his job & lead by example !! 

 

If I sat and thought more I could come up with some others but these guys are on top of my list of favorites !!

Fred Jackson.  Such a shame he didn't get to be a part of the Josh Allen teams.

Coe College. I loved the backstory. Worked hard and got his shot, and didn't waste it.

One of my "role players I love" is Reggie Gilliam. Sad to see him go, particularly to the Pats.

Sometimes when he was in the game I liked to focus on what he was doing while he was on camera. Little things done consistently well.

I was 10 years old  when we drafted OJ; 14 when he rushed for 2,003.  Loved the guy.  Amazing on the field and seemed generous and gracious off it.  He was the only athlete I ever idolized and the lesson I learned was to never put anyone - outside of family - on a pedestal.

 

Over the years since, my favorite players have been Kelly, Moulds, Freddy, Kyle, and Josh.   

 

I think both Moulds and Jackson were sadly underrated.  If they had better supporting casts and spent the peaks of their careers on playoff teams, they would be mentioned as HOF candidates.  But that's life in the NFL.

Aside from the obvious ones from the 90's and current, these would be my picks:

 

1.  Fred Jackson

2. Roscoe Parrish

3. Kyle Williams 

4. Micah Hyde

5. Ryan Fitzpatrick

6. Lorenzo Alexander

7. Stevie Johnson

8. Doug Flutie 

9. Nate Clements

10. Lee Evans

There were times near the end of his stay where it seemed Jerry Hughes was the only player who played like he thought they could win.

 

I have a feeling I wouldn't like him if I knew more about him at the time, but I loved Conrad Dobler. Same for Smerlas

 

Fitz just dropped to my second favorite QB behind Josh and just ahead of Frank.

 

Freddie and Stevie, obviously.

 

The entire four falls team(s). Bennet and Davis deserve more mentions no matter how many they get. Wolford, Ballard, Hull, what a team.

 

Butch Rolle and Joe Cribbs and Jerry Butler. Don't remember much of the 80s.

 

Most of all Brian Moorman. I kid, I kid. But only a little. (I see I got beat on this one h/t @BillsClinton.)

I loved Braxton. Or maybe I really disliked Wayne Patrick, the FB before Braxton. I was just a little kid. First season I paid any attention, and Patrick was my first sports pariah. I looked it up: 5 fumbles in that 1-13 year. How did I ever become a Bills fan given that introduction.
