Very tough question. I'd have to go with Chad.
I became a fan around '93 and while I loved Blake, Pickens, CD, Wilkinson, Kitna, Palmer, Housh, AJ, Burfict, Geno and many others, Chad stands out for a few reasons.
- He was the first superstar Bengals player I got to see.
- He made games fun to watch, because he backed up his talk on the field. The celebrations were fun of course.
- Imo, he was the clear MVP of the 2003-2009 era, when the Bengals became relevant again.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
