James 'Shack' Harris.
I have long admired the way he fought against bigotry and stereotypes and blazed a path for others as both a player and exec.
Marshall freaking Faulk. For almost all of the reasons you listed.
Jack Youngblood. Blue collar, jeans and sweatshirt, no swag, just go to work and get it done.
Individual success?
Team success?
Health and longevity?
Stability (not moving from team to team)?
Overcoming obstacles?
Money?
That wasn't the question. The question was who's career.I wouldn't want Faulk's life ... on the field success? yes.
But the multiple kids, legal financial failures, and his "me too" embarrassment situation that he now has to live with? no. I wouldn't want to be Marshall Faulk now.
I like your premise. Please fill us in. Wikipedia only gives us a glossed/generic overview of his life.
Isaac Bruce .... (looking at it through his eyes) ... "the guy who refused to let Bruce me retire as a Ram, Jay Zigmunt, got fired immediately after I scored my 100th TD catch, 1000th reception, and become the #2 in career reception yards ... in a 49ers uniform IN ST. LOUIS"
Someone remind me ... who was it that caught the come from behind TD pass with 2 minutes to go in the 4th quarter of Super Bowl XXXIV ?
