A lot of good choices and it's hard to pick a favorite. As a youngster I liked Larry Csonka and Jim Kiick. They were like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. A potent one two punch.

Dan the man, but my first was Nat Moore. And a special shout out to OJ McDuffie
 
As this seems to have the making of a runaway for Dan, it's interesting to think about what makes a "favorite". Is it TALENT like Dan, or heart like Zach, or tough toughness like Czonka, or success like Griese, or numbers like JT, or does it depend on what era you grew up because youre always gonna pick your favorite player when you're twelve years old. Is it one moment like the fake spike or the Orande Gadsden catch that solidifies a players clout in your heart, or does it require looking back on a long career of dedication, and are you inclined to be partial to our draft choices?

All in all, I'm going to go with all of the above and say my answer, when I'm an old man reminiscing, is Ryan Tannehill.

Everyone on that list is worthy, and Dan Marino gave me a lot of great memories, but Zach Thomas to me was what you would hope for in a player on your team, tough, instinctive, intense, loyal, and a lot of heart....basically what a coach is talking about when talking about a football player.

Yep. Dan had the talent I'll give him that. But Zach had the leadership, loyalty and commitment. There is another question to ask yourself when considering this question, who would you want to sit and have a beer with? Zach Thomas.

I saw him beat Johnny Valentine in a steel cage match after he left football.
indian chef , football player , actor ... this guy had it all ..:up:

Honorable mention to #22 Tony Nathan who I had the privilege of playing 18 holes of golf with in a celeb tournament.
He was running back coach for Tampa Bay at the time.

Nice post bro! He was my pick as well for all that you named and the fact that the experts said he was too slow and short and he was a gamer. I have been a Dolphins fan since 1970. Next year I turn 50 and I have seen a lot of very good Dolphin players in my time.

How can you be a Dolphins fan and not a fan of Marino? That seems sacrilege.

You write that as if Marino didn't have leadership, loyalty, and commitment. Marino had more of each of those than Zach. Marino only played for one team his entire career.
 
Because of what he did to the Jets in one game in 1982, AJ Duhe...

Larry Czonka, for forearming a Cardinal CB into oblivian on an end around and being flagged for unnecessary roughness.
