In no particular order:

- Morten Anderson - "The Great Dane", MSU All-American
- Wille Roaf - HOF'er, gotta' respect offensive lineman who so often toil in obscurity
- Sean Payton - coaching great who turned a franchise around ... on par with the likes of Scotty Bowman, Sparky Anderson and others, IMO.
- Tom Dempsey - anyone who can kick a ball that far with only half a foot gets my vote
- Kyle Turley - the world needs more enforcers
- Thomas Morestead - at one point, a season or two ago, he was the best tackler on special teams, or so it seemed
- Jimmy Graham - redefined the touchdown celebration by wrecking the goal posts
- Steve Gleason - for the 'block heard round the world' ... and it was against the Failclowns, which made it even more special,
- Bobby Hebert - won championships with the Michigan Panthers (USFL) & has my undying gratitude for that one brief, shining moment he brought winning football to Detroit
- Drew Brees - how can you not love the guy?

honorable mention:

- Tom Lelito - hasn't really done anything (yet), but a Michigan 'local boy' done good
- Joe Horn - the whole 'barbecue sauce' thing won me over
- Reggie Bush/Joique Bell - first running back tandem in NFL history to each record 500+ rushing/receiving yds in one season, albeit for the Lions ... but we all know where they got their grit from, .
- Lance Moore - 'cuz his Mama raised him right & he was a darn good route-runner.


dishonorable mention:

- Pat Swilling - came to Detroit, insisted on wearing a previously retired number of one of Detroit's all-time greats (#56, Joe Schmidt) & was then a flop.
