Ed Reed is a legend. Ed Reed will always be the standard that, as players, we look up to and strive to be like.
Art Monk was an example for Jerry Rice. That's what Jerry always told me.
I don’t think Ed Reed has to take a back seat to anybody who ever played the position. ANYBODY.
I'm going to listen to John Elway. He knows what he's talking about.
History has never seen Emmitt Smith. I don't care what has come before me. That's why they call it history you create new history.
Michael Irvin, he's definitely a legend, but I don't know if some of the guys my age and younger really know about him.
I don't know about Willie Davis. He's not as young as he used to be.
Troy Polamalu was a fascinating player, and that made him.
Andre Tippett was an impact player who consistently played at a level that set him apart. Accounting for him limited what an offense could do. He made quarterbacks nervous.and rightly so.
Bill Walsh was a genius in many ways.
Mike Webster's death was significant. Iron Mike. The best center in the NFL. Nine-time Pro Bowler. Hall of Famer. Four Super Bowl rings. He had played in more games - 220 of them - than any other player in Steelers history.
First off there is no question that LaDainian is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. His contributions off the field to the community of San Diego are as important as what he did on the field. What he did on the field was monumental.
