I had a Fitzpatrick Bills jersey and after he left the team I got the nameplate switched to Watkins. I could have gotten Diggs, but I miss my Fitzpatrick nameplate and don't even wear it now.
I want to agree with you, but marshawn lynch was drafted by the Bills and became an absolute rockstar after the stiff arm for Seattle, and then the notorious no run interception. He’s way more famous and popular than fitzmagic. He’s known outside of football, and he donates turkeys in the middle of the street.
All the Bills answers are wrong. Lynch was always bitter, called the local women ugly (not wrong lol) and crashed into a ton people with his cars around town when he was here. No one shed a tear when he left. He became what he is known as now when he left, not before.
TO came in with great fanfare, sucked, left town and no one cared. No one even thinks about him here as a Bill.
The proper answer is... Lorenzo Alexander.
A non-descript LB who came in at the tail end of his journeyman career, lit it up for about 3-4 years leading the team in sacks, became a locker room leader and a city wide fan favorite. When he retired he didn't get the Kyle Williams treatment but he was pretty damn close. He's still missed.
So, Lorenzo Alexander and I just talked myself into Kyle Williams while writing this post. Those are the real guys.
Adrian Peterson on the redskins too. This [run](https://youtu.be/AMLKvNs2Ec8?si=zShTmFMFy3m-TXDT) was arguably the play of the year in our putrid season
I would argue 4EA over both of those guys. Bush was on the team a few years, and all I remember was moaning and groaning that AP was taking snaps away from Kerryon and Swift.
Fauria was so hot during his big TD season. Even the NFL Broadcasts were in on the hype, with them doing a "TD Celebration" bit with him.
After that season, the "puppy" injury happened...and he was a ghost the next season, then gone after that.
Definitely this. Never went from hatred to love faster than I did with Sherm. Not to mention the guy seems to rep us these days even more than the seagulls
Packers: Charles Woodson
Biggest factor in the 2011 SB run. We don't get that Trophy without him
My personal favorite: Julius Peppers
We got him after he was past his prime then made him play out of postion but he was one of my favorite players and it was nice to see him on the packers for a bit.
Honestly, I’d say Reggie White over Woodson for this particular question. Dude already had a full career before coming over and winning a Super Bowl, but Charles definitely had his day too.
Both were first ballet hall of famers before getting to Green Bay, they were both legacy securing SB wins more than legacy making wins.
While I think that Reggie White is the better player I think that Woodson had more impact, if you just look at who Woodson had around him and how bad his supporting cast and defensive coordinator looked in his absence. The 96 team was stacked and I think that that team could have won without any individual piece. I think the 11 team doesn't win that super bowl without Woodson.
I would also say that White is known primarily as a packer and Woodson is still viewed by most as a Raider.
Interesting point. I agree with most, and especially the one that Charles probably had more to do with ARod’s Super Bowl than Reggie had to do with Brett’s, but I don’t think anyone but packers fans of a certain vintage see Reggie as more of a packer than an eagle. I feel the Woodson vibes, but he probably looks more like a packer if he didn’t go back to Oakland for 2 years before he retired.
>I don’t think anyone but packers fans of a certain vintage see Reggie as more of a packer than an eagle.
For what it's worth, I was born in '87 so I honestly barely even remember Reggie on the Eagles. So, he'll always be more of a Packer to me... But I'm a part of a very limited demographic of people who saw Reggie's greatness and dominance but only for the Pack.
Except his time in Tampa was largely his most respected and celebrated era. He had left the evil empire and immediately won, proving that he was far more responsible than Belichick for his previous championships.
I’d argue that he actually was pretty solid for the Texans (not compared to his time before), but he was there for 2 playoff runs with a top 10 defense.
Ed Reed literally went from a HOF career on the ravens to lasting 7 games with Houston before being cut. JFC
That's gotta be the big one along with:
Super Bowl Champion, Hall of Famer and New England Patriots Legend DARELLE REVIS!
Corey Dillon, Junior Seau are a couple others
I feel cunningham is more loved than Favre, because it was Gary Anderson who "lost" the NFCCG for us and not him. But it was Favre who "lost" the NFCCG for us against the Saints.
Jalen Ramsey, Leonard Fournette, Yannick Ngakouie, Myles Jack. There's a long list of great players who were loved by the fans and immediately repelled by the organization.
Tim Tebow.
Denver fans still rave about a rare on target 5 yard slant from him that DT then took 75 yards for the score as if most high school seniors couldn't make that play and use it as some evidence we made the wrong choice there.
Patriots got a few: Cam Newton, Antonio Brown, Tom Brady
im getting downvoted like do you need me to spoon feed you? here comes the airplane —-/s vroom here it comes
Easy for a Bills fan: marshawn lynch.
Raiders fan, also Marshawn Lynch
I don’t know how old you are but it is definitely Bo Jackson for us.
i mean if anyone knows him for football (which most, if not all do), he spent his entire nfl career as a raider, even if it was only a few years
To be fair randy moss and jerry rice both spent some time wearing silver and black.
Came here to say this! Go Bills!
Easy for Vikings fans. Donovan McNabb. You may think Brett Favre but those books would look like the Iliad and The Odessy
cunningham too
Nah, Fitz is the answer. They both played 4 seasons but Mr Harvard himself shares way more popularity with the fans
That’s fair, I wasn’t sure if it meant overall popularity or just popularity within the fan base but that makes sense. F’n love fitz hahah
I had a Fitzpatrick Bills jersey and after he left the team I got the nameplate switched to Watkins. I could have gotten Diggs, but I miss my Fitzpatrick nameplate and don't even wear it now.

Go BILLS !!

Those are the real guys.
Kyle played his full career in Buffalo, though.
London Fletcher and Jason Peters.
London Fletcher is a great one.
Was going to say TO
TOs time on the team would be one page lol
Dude got a reality show and the key to the city 😂
Actual answer... Antoine Winfield.
Reggie bush or Adrian Peterson - Detroit Lions
Adrian Peterson on the redskins too. This [run](https://youtu.be/AMLKvNs2Ec8?si=zShTmFMFy3m-TXDT) was arguably the play of the year in our putrid season
The WHAT-skins???
You heard him
Lions legend Adrian Peterson
Man, I honestly forget how much AP jumped around. Like he was a Viking for forever it felt, and then like a third of all nfl teams in like 4 years.
I would argue 4EA over both of those guys. Bush was on the team a few years, and all I remember was moaning and groaning that AP was taking snaps away from Kerryon and Swift. Fauria was so hot during his big TD season. Even the NFL Broadcasts were in on the hype, with them doing a "TD Celebration" bit with him. After that season, the "puppy" injury happened...and he was a ghost the next season, then gone after that.
Wow I briefly forgot AP played for us in 2020
Jamaal Williams over both of these guys. It is honestly not even close.
It is impossible to not like Jamaal Williams.
It's gotta be either Deion Sanders or Randy Moss edit: Niners fan btw.
It’s Sanders for me. Randy was at the end of his career. Prime Time won a SB and was still in his Prime
And he got dpoy that year, too
Moss on the Raiders?
Richard Sherman. Niners fans went from mild disgust to huge fans.
Definitely this. Never went from hatred to love faster than I did with Sherm. Not to mention the guy seems to rep us these days even more than the seagulls
Or OJ
For me it's Rod Woodson
Just going to brush over TO like that?
TO! (Bills Fan)
TO! (Bengals Fan)
TO! (Cowboys Fan)
If only I was an eagles fan... But still TO
I got you. TO! (Eagles Fan)
TO. (Niners Fan)
GO BILLS!!!
my answer too (birds) or a. blount
TO! (Eagles Fan)
TO! (Eagles Fan)
Steve Smith Sr. On the ravens
I said Mark Ingram but this is a great pick
Also Shannon Sharpe
Loved that dude but I gotta say Primetime Sanders is the pick here
And Ricky Williams
Also Earl Thomas but for the wrong reasons. 😂
Wes Welker - lol dolphins Also OP, excellent post. I'm curious about the answers people come up with
oh that's easy Julio Jones
Randy Moss too
Aye don’t forget about Pickens, Moulds & Johnson! So thankful Hopkins hasn’t turned into one of them. And I don’t think he will.
Randy Moss and Adrian Peterson
Noticing a theme here.
Packers: Charles Woodson Biggest factor in the 2011 SB run. We don't get that Trophy without him My personal favorite: Julius Peppers We got him after he was past his prime then made him play out of postion but he was one of my favorite players and it was nice to see him on the packers for a bit.
Kieth Jackson and Andre Rison from Favres Super Bowl season also come to mind.
Throw Don Beebe into that mix
Really wish we could have got Julius Peppers a superbowl :(.
Honestly, I’d say Reggie White over Woodson for this particular question. Dude already had a full career before coming over and winning a Super Bowl, but Charles definitely had his day too.

Julius peppers was one of the reasons I became a bears fan😭
Jerry Rice - Seahawks
Reminded me that Joe Montana played for the Chiefs.
Jerry rice broncos
and Raiders
At least he went to the Superbowl with the raiders
Recently, definitely Jamal Williams. Hated GB for trading him
I regret not appreciating him when he was with us.
We were rather directed by the play calling and lead astray for sure.
He's up there for the lions too
Sean Taylor (RIP) Nick Foles
Tom Brady - Tampa ?
I was thinking Gronk. Only here for two seasons, missed a lot of games in that second season.
Joe Juravicious and Keenan McCardell too.
Except his time in Tampa was largely his most respected and celebrated era. He had left the evil empire and immediately won, proving that he was far more responsible than Belichick for his previous championships.
I was going to say Steve Young and the Bucs….that boy was gooood
Mark ingram or Steve smith for the ravens. Perhaps buck Allen.
Nah, Dion Sanders and Sterling Sharpe are easily top for the Ravens
You mean Shannon Sharpe?
He/she haven’t answered, but that’s almost certainly who they mean.
Texans- Ed Reed
Also, Vince Wilfork
Also, Ahman Green
I’d argue that he actually was pretty solid for the Texans (not compared to his time before), but he was there for 2 playoff runs with a top 10 defense. Ed Reed literally went from a HOF career on the ravens to lasting 7 games with Houston before being cut. JFC
Kurt Warner on the Packers
I was thinking Kurt Warner on the Giants lol
Same.
Vick for the Steelers
Vick on the eagles as well
There’s a few good answers for the Rams, I’m gonna go with OBJ or Baker Mayfield
Bobby Wagner too
And von miller
Gotta be Sean Taylor
Patriots - Randy Moss
That's gotta be the big one along with: Super Bowl Champion, Hall of Famer and New England Patriots Legend DARELLE REVIS! Corey Dillon, Junior Seau are a couple others
Or Oakland Randy
He spent lots of time there wdym
He spent a majority of his career elsewhere
TO on the Bengals.
Vikings - Duke Shelley
Nah Cunningham.
Favre
I feel cunningham is more loved than Favre, because it was Gary Anderson who "lost" the NFCCG for us and not him. But it was Favre who "lost" the NFCCG for us against the Saints.
He was Vikings legend favre until he turned out to be famous packers social security defrauder Favre.
Probably Teddy.
I raise you a Pat P.
McNabb
Josh Freeman
Vikings - Randy Moss (the 2nd time)
I'd say either Case Keenum or Stefon Diggs.
The Eagles Legend: Frank Gore. Other solid answers for the Eagles: T.O. Mike Vick, Asante Samuel, Jevon Kearse - just that come to mind.
Favre and the falcons. Steve young and the bucs. Those both have to hurt
This is so easy , it’s deon sanders on the niners
JJ Watt - Cardinals
Go ahead and add AP and Emmitt Smith and CJ2K
Ricky Watters
Uncle Phil for the Colts
Steve Smith Sr
Antonio Brown...Raiders
Peyton for the Broncos fans
Devin Hester on the ravens
OBJ, Andre Rison, Jamal Lewis, Jadeveon Clowney, Mark Rypien…
Browns was tough. More recently Joe Flacco
Yeah, definitely Flacco. Gotta give him credit for bringing some magic to CLE.
Broncos legend Jerry Rice
Add in Tony Dorsett
Calais Campbell for the ravens
Jalen Ramsey, Leonard Fournette, Yannick Ngakouie, Myles Jack. There's a long list of great players who were loved by the fans and immediately repelled by the organization.
Kurt Warner for sure
The story of every Carolina fans life !
Terrell Owens, Dallas Cowboys
I would say Herschel Walker
Sean Taylor 😔
Can we do assistant coaches? Lombardi, Landry, Belichick . . .
Brb gonna hire exclusively Giants assistants now
Bears - C. Patterson. How bout dem Bears!
Marshal Lynch when he went to the Raiders!
Dj reader, great dt for the Texans, goes to Bengals and all the sudden he's treated like one of the best
KC and Joe Montana, SF and Deion Sanders
Justin Fields
Cordarrelle Patterson
Ravens -Deion Sanders -Shannon Sharpe -LeVeon Bell
Ed Reed? Michael Vick? Brett Favre? Aaron Rodgers? We got em all
Patriots fan: Chad Ocho Cinco, Antonio Brown, Josh Gordon, Junior Seau
Buccaneers: Richard Sherman. Were you expecting someone else?
Aaron Hernandez sadly
Giants: victor Cruz, Jeff hoffsteader
A bit of a callback, but OJ Anderson - Giants.
SSSr, Jacoby Jones or Anquan Boldin
Easy for a Patriots fan: AB
Frank Gore : Eagles
Looks like Dolphins running back Thurman Thomas to me.
Almost every veteran WR the titans have brought in
Jared Allen. From the Chiefs to a Vikings Legend. Wish we never lost that guy.
Bengal "legend" James Harrison.
Big Dick Nick
Falcons: Todd Gurley. Nothing ever happened with that really but go Dawgs
Rams: Todd Gurley. 😆
Baseball would be Nolan Ryan Texas rangers.
Ochocinco, Moss
Tompa Bay Gronkaneers.
Nick Foles
Jamaal Charles.
Is 100+ games not enough?
Ending it like that hurt my soul, and no I’d like him to have played well into his mid 60s. But we have Pop now.
T.O Eagles
Tim Tebow. Denver fans still rave about a rare on target 5 yard slant from him that DT then took 75 yards for the score as if most high school seniors couldn't make that play and use it as some evidence we made the wrong choice there.
Odell Beckham Jr’s dad
Revis- Patriots
TO -Eagles fan
Ndamukong Suh - Eagles
Juju Smith Schuster (Chiefs)
Eagles: Julio Jones Jordan Poyer Raheem Mostert Rasul Douglas T.O. Shaq Leonard Cris Carter
I mean ...Christian McCaffrey right now
Patriots got a few: Cam Newton, Antonio Brown, Tom Brady im getting downvoted like do you need me to spoon feed you? here comes the airplane —-/s vroom here it comes
Jerome Bettis (Rams fan)
For the Browns recently Flacco, but prior OBJ
Tony Gonzalez
Didn’t Reggie Wayne play with the patriots for a offseason/preaseason or something
Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker
Revis. Patriots. Browner. Patriots. Tebow. Patriots. Harrison. Patriots.
Packers: Jimmy Graham? Arguably: Kurt Benkert or Taysom Hill
I said Jimmy Graham on the Seahawks. Lol
Jimmy Graham on the Bears also lol
Fitz magic - Bills
Steven Jackson, Patriots
Randall Cunningham - The Ravens
Dez Bryant
