Brady confirmed Da'Shawn Hand's commitment, and maybe even Flourette's.

He would be a very close second to Brady given the list of criteria.

Charles Woodson may not be as famous as Brady, but Woodson is a Heisman Trophy winner, National Champion, NFL Defensive POY, Super Bowl champion, and probable Pro Football Hall of Famer. He's won almost every award a defensive player can win. The only thing missing from his resume is Super Bowl MVP.
Other guys I think would be on this list right npw: Peyton Manning, Ray Lewis (despite what many people think of him, a lot of young players admire the way he played on the field), and Drew Brees. If we aren't limited to just active players, then Emmitt Smith, Joe Montana, Deion Sanders would be on the list as well.

No supermodel wife.
August 23rd, 2013 at 8:58 AM ^
What's the point if you miss out on that?
August 23rd, 2013 at 9:35 AM ^
Model" wife. Super Model wives are reserved for true Michigan Men (TM).

Mr. Football in the state of Ohio. Another great accomplishment.

It's tough to fault Woodson for not being a Super Bowl MVP.
First, a defensive back winning the Super Bowl MVP is almost as unlikely as, well, a defensive back winning the Heisman. It really comes down to making a spectacular play, as both DB MVPs (Jake Scott and Dexter Jackson) had long interception returns in defensively-dominated games. Even the best DBs only make a couple plays like that per season (quick, how many defensive plays can you remember Woodson making in 1997? For me it's three: the interceptions against Colorado, MSU, and WSU).
Second, Woodson's team was blown out in his first Super Bowl appearance because Rich Gannon forgot which team to throw to, and he was knocked out of the game near halftime of his only Super Bowl win.

Peyton Manning is definitely up there.

Not to mention they have Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

Pure speculation but I think this trip also had something to do with Under Armour. Only 4 more years if we fulfill the entire contract with Adidas. It'd be a good idea for Tommy to start getting himself reacquainted with the AD.
August 23rd, 2013 at 8:09 AM ^
This trip was about Tom being in Detroit for a game with the Lions. There is no uniformz conspiracy theory.

Little cool story bro for the board, I'm currently texting w Braylon Edwards. Guy I work with met him out in NYC and pinged me b/c he knew I would get all excited.
August 23rd, 2013 at 4:34 AM ^
August 23rd, 2013 at 6:18 AM ^
maybe Braylon just found out on mgoblog that he was sexting a dude last night?

It's your buddy.

Hey Jeff09, this is Charles Woodson, I'm using OMG Shirtless account and just wanted to say hello.

Cooler story, bro. I was a manager at a nightclub where Josh Cribbs had a birthday party. Got to hang out with him and Braylon quite a bit that night. Both were super nice to everyone. Got to know the entire VIP bar staff by name, tipped well, the whole 9 yards. Braylon's drink of choice - Hurricane, for what that's worth.

Different time and all, but Joe Namath. He was all about the Super Bowl and had models on each arm.

I've seen Desmond give a speech in front of a group of about 100 people and briefly met him before hand. He is an amazing man: very humble, very giving, smart and funny. You're right that his NFL accolades don't match Brady's or Woodson's, but his post-NFL career puts him close, IMO, both his work on ESPN and his charity work (he does an awful lot for the Boys' and Girls' Clubs).
August 23rd, 2013 at 7:10 AM ^
American dream incarnate. Not highly recruited, not highly drafted. Had to overcome Drew Henson and Drew Bledsoe and become a three time super bowl mvp. Made the most of each opportunity. Traded in Tara Reid for Bridgette Moynihan (sic), and then traded her in for Gisele. . .
Woodson is excellent of course, but everyone knew he had talent. He wasn't the perpetual underdog that Brady was.
