We've had thousands of players on Buffalo Bills rosters in all the years that they've been in Buffalo.  Who would you say are the most likable?

When football players join a team, they don't have to be likable people.  They have to be good at what they do.  In all of the years that we've been watching football, we've been blessed to have a long list of players that were both.  When coming up with this list, we weren't looking at the best players at their positions.  We were just looking at the players that people seemed to love.

We've seen guys who have just been really good and we've liked them for that and we've seen guys who were really good guys.  Whether they did something great for the community or the kids or they made us laugh by just having fun playing the game that we love, it all makes their number go up on the likability meter.

Ryan Fitzpatrick will be returning to Buffalo as this weekend's "Legend of the Game" to help get people pumped up on Sunday and I couldn't help but ask, "Is Ryan Fitzpatrick the most liked former Buffalo Bill of all time?" My friends and I were going back and forth on a group text message the other day about it and we began reminiscing about some of the most likable players that have played at One Bills Drive.

It's no coincidence that some of the most liked players were also on the most successful teams.  I know some of these guys have questionable stories that follow them.  Maybe you bumped into them at a bar once and they weren't very nice at the moment.  But over the years their likability has grown because of the respect that they've shown to Western New York.  Their positivity about our region and the way that some of them have given back will always hold a dear spot in our hearts.

It almost feels wrong to limit the list to 10.  Once a Bill, always a Bill.  Who do you think is one of the most likable players (past or present) from the Buffalo Bills?
