If you could only pick one Husky as your favorite player, who would it be? Mine would be Napoleon Kaufman, damn he was fun to watch. At any given time he could take it to the house with his blazing speed. That boy had some serious guns on him and ran with power, even though he wasn't big. Who's your pick ?

This is like naming your favorite AC/DC song.

How do you do that?

If I had to name just one - Steve Emtman. He simply dominated the guy in front of him - and sometimes more than one guy. He was mean, huge, and he owned the line of scrimmage. #1 draft pick, played on the unbeaten 91 team, from our own great state of Washington - he has to be my pick.

Now I want to name about 10 other Huskies that were badasses, too.

I agree with everything that Dan just said... it's a ten way tie with Emtman barely edging out the field.

Fish on...

Todd

See, that wasn't hard. Too bad Steve's NFL career was cut short.

I don't remember Sixkiller, a tad before my time.

I almost agree with Dan

But since he took Emtman I'll take Lincoln Kennedy. Same team left tackle.

I always enjoyed watching Marques Tuiasosopo play.

My old boss told me stories about Hugh McElhenny, sounds like he was a real stud. I wish I could have seen him run. How well did he do in the NFL?

Mario Bailey
Lester Towns
Reggie Williams
Marques Tuiasosopa
Lawyer Milloy
Beno Bryant
Ink Aleaga
Richie Chambers
Steve Emtmen
Napoleon Kaufman

Some of my favorites when we had season tickets

Good call on Milloy, forgot about him. He had a great NFL career.

Outside fan's perspective....Emtman was the best Husky I ever saw play. The dude was straight up murderer.

+1

That game against Stanford was the best individual performance I ever saw in Husky Stadium!

Outstanding summary.

Doug Martin and Jacque Robinson

BJ never lost a game as a starter.

Kid was a gamer.

Damon Huard because he threw "The Pick".

Mark Brunell was no slouch. He went on to have a good NFL career too.

I got to see Sonny Sixkiller against CAL in Berkeley in 1971. Huskies won that one.

Paul Skansi gets honorable mention.

The '91 Defense is my favorite Husky player of all time.

Great pull there!

Doug Martin ate at my house about once a month when he was a Husky. Great guy. Dirt poor. And really missed his Mom. He's probably the main reason you don't see me thrashing these kids when they F-up as it's hard for us to fully understand their situation. It was super cool when he signed the first million dollar contract in NFL history.

I still have his #79 Vikings jersey and always wore #73 in High School because of him.

Micheal Jackson and Nesby Glasgow were also two of my favorites from that team!

Those three taught me the "Say Who" chant .

Gotta go with Emtman... just a beast. Plus I was attending the UW during that reign of power, so got too see it first hand.

Lots of other great players already mentioned.

For some reason I always liked that Cody Pickett grew up on "Chicken Dinner Lane" in Caldwell.

Has nobody mentioned Ron Holmes yet?

Shameful.

I forgot about Billy Joe.

I remember Kaufman being a little guy could bench press around 400 lbs.

My favorite Husky player is their punter......sure wish i could catch his name sometime.

That is solid work right there.

Fish on...

Todd

I see what you did there.

All you kids needed to be around when Dawgs had real men playin,especially Don McKeta.................!

GO DAWGS............2016

Junior Coffey and Charlie Browning, ring a bell.

I'd love to them bring out the old rounded numbers.

and Keith Jackson is definitely missed

You're not kidding, what a legend!.

Did anyone mention Joe Steele, he was a fine player. I don't remember him that much, kind of before my time. Can anyone attest to his greatness. ?

He was an excellent running back when I was a kid, back when end zone seats were never available for pre-sale and cost...$7?

I think knee problems derailed his career.

Fish on...

Todd

Joe Steele was an excellent running back until he suffered devastating knee injury.
Excellent runner with really good hands.
In my opinion, would have had a nice pro career if not for the knee injury.
SF

I'm pretty sure Joe Steele blew his knee out the last time UW played Bama.

A loss in Huskey Stadium.

Pay back's a bitch!

He blew his knee out at UCLA in the LA Coliseum.

The Bama game in 78 is where Spider Gaines had a wide open touchdown pass bounce off his facemask.
SF

Loved watching him return punts. Very rarely called for a "fair catch"

Joe wasn't aware "fair catch" was a thing until after he graduated.

Fuckyeah!

Fish on...

Todd

Sonny Sixkiller

David Rill

Jaime Fields RIP and Beno Bryant

Hugh McElhenny said he had to take a cut in pay to go pro. a lot of great players from back when jim owens was the coach and players played both ways

Pete Susick

My vote goes to our very own Bryan Stone (stone fish). That humble son of a gun..

Favorite Husky right?

Stone Fish.....what position? What years?

Go on Bryan.... tell em'.
