I really, really liked Chuck Muncie too. I loved the way he ran with the ball. The thing is that I have had many favorites over the years. Not always the best player either, sometimes it is just a tough gritty guy that gets the job done. A good example would be Lance Moore.

Reggie Bush

And I agree, Payton didn't use Reggie Bush; he should've been used in the slot like a Steve Smith, five-ten yard hitch routes, back shoulder, out-in-space and it'd been $$$$ of YAC...

Exactly. How often do we see Kamara get one on one with a linebacker on the outside? That would be impossible for teams to do to Reggie.

Sam Mills, Sammy Knight, Vilma

Pierre Thomas is right there. The UDFA screen king that helped win a Super bowl by doing everything right. But my favorite is Drew by a long shot. No one else comes close but Colston has earned honorable mention. I'd be remiss if I didn't include the chase down and strip return for a TD by Meachum. That was possibly the best hustle play that I've ever seen. He earned my undying respect for that.

My "first" favorite Saint was Danny Abramowitz. I've had dozens and dozens since.

All players mentioned are fantastic Saints players.

Marques Colston for me.

Over 580 career receptions/8k rec yards / 60+ TD but NO PRO BOWLS?

GTFOH.

I'm with you on this. Just flat out a bad-ass linebacker.

I remember Ricky wearing a Daniel Boone coonskin cap during an interview once. The interviewer asked another player if anyone else in the locker room could get away with that and he quickly said no.
