Mentioning some of these older guys, I think Al Smith may have been one of the first LB I truly rooted for.
Marcus Robertson was another guy I like with Chris Dishman but of course the almost entire run n shoot offense was awesome.
I was a big fan of Jack Pardee and Mouse Davis.
After some thought, I think my favorite player to watch all time was Barry Sanders. Even the short runs were exciting and you just always felt he was a half step from breaking a long one.
Greatest player I grew up on.... Lawrence Taylor
Can't argue with that list.
If we're talking about non Titans, I think it's Larry Fitzgerald. I've just never respected anyone outside of the Titans like I do him. One of the greatest WR'S to play the game.
Funny, Ray Childress was my password on GoTits. Great player
Walter Payton
He’s a guy I really didn’t get the chance to watch play. As I started watching, it was the very tail end of Payton’s career. Sanders was just starting though and I still would have liked to watch more.
The Chicago Bears fan in me says Walter Payton. He took on all tacklers and seemingly never ran out of bounds. Didn't matter how hard he may have been hit, he's was the first player to jump up from the pile of bodies and get back to the huddle.
The Titan/Oiler fan in me is torn between E George and S McNair; lean McNair. But I've gotten the most Titan enjoyment from watching Earl Campbell and D Henry at RB.. Their speed and power is unlike most others.

Steve McNair!!
Favorite Non Oilers/Titans Player.
Craig "The Iron Head" Hayward.
Meet him during Training Camp once when I was a snot nosed kid. He was really cool and signed my Oilers shirt and cap even though he was with the Saints at that time.

Ed Podolak....still holds the NFL record for most all purpose yards in a playoff game....350.
McNair.
Same for me, EG probably always number one. Derrick coulda challenged that but he's on the gross ratburds now. McNair, Bulluck, Kearse, Rolle all honourable mention. For non titans - my dad always told me Jim Brown was the man, Moss, both LT's, Steve Smith all up there.
Why Derrick Henry of course. But I still can't cheer for him to get a superb owl with the dirty ratbirds.
