My alltime favorite athlete that I have ever met came in 2002 when I was in Basic Training in Fort Benning, GA. I met Pat Tillman a few times and convinced him to sign my Ft. Benning stationary. He was an unbelievable guy. I only met him 3 times but every time he was always willing to talk football. I will never forget those encounters.
