I'm 38 and I'm going to have to say Kevin Faulk. Guy has had an extremely long career for a RB in the NFL and has merely played a role in certain offensive situations for the Pats. But whenever he's been called on he has always delivered in a big way, and has never been one to let his ego embarrass himself by bitching and complaining. He's been selected a Captain on that team numerous times for good reason.

I'm surprised Keiland Williams hasn't dominated the voting...

Kevin Faulk

Arguably the greatest player in LSU history, came back for his senior season, and has had a tremendous NFL career.

Only 3 players currently on the patriots roster who were a member of all 3 of their super bowls- Tom Brady, left tackle Matt Light, and Kevin fricking Faulk

Johnny Robinson. The greatest player who belongs in the NFL HOF, but is not. What a travesty. He was the top safety in the AFL on those great Kansas City Chiefs teams.

Two of you beat me to it. As I scrolled thru, I kept thinking, where is Johnnie Robinson.

Probably not #1, but another guy that's never mentioned is Roy Winston. All-American OL at LSU, then a 15 year career at LB for the Vikings. i don't now if he was beloved, but a fan favorite.

I believe Johnny Robinson is in the AFL and the KC Chiefs Hall of Fame and I believe the only reason he is not in the NFL Hall of Fame is he only played like 4 or years in the NFL after the merger but he definitely belongs!

How many of you guys remember Henry Thomas? He played back in the days of the Dalton and James gang. Jerry Stovall made Bill Arnsbarger famous with his recruits.

Kevin Faulk, Alan Faneca, and Eddie Kennison but very soon it'll be with no questions asked... Patrick Peterson.
