Met Charley Taylor as a kid and he was the nicest guy. Remember him asking my name and signing a mini football for me. Then ruffled my hair and asked me who my favorite player was. I said Larry Brown and my dad giggled and said "you should always say the player you are getting the autograph from son". Charley and my dad both laughed and I was like..."but LARRY is my favorite" which brought even more laughs. Charley said Larry was a great guy and that he would tell him. I did not know it at the time but my dad gave him our address and 3 weeks later I got an autographed picture of Larry with "to my biggest fan". That was so classy, of both my dad and Charley. No ego...hell I was a little kid just telling it like it was. Charley WAS my favorite reciever then Roy Jefferson.
I also met Kurt Knight and Mike Bragg. Really nice guys too. At a golf outing a few years ago i met Ali-Haji-Sheik. I got to see his Super Bowl ring and even tried it on. He was cool but spoke little english and was amazed to find a Redskins fan in the heart of NJ.
