That's a tough question...like asking me my favorite movie of all time....wow....I've met Dan Marino several times and I like him a lot, not to mention of all Fins players, he probably did more for us than any other, but I am leaning towards Dwight Stevenson. He was a man among boys when he played, and surely would have gone down as THE best center of all time had not his career been cut short. He's in the argument of best center of all time even with a shortened career. Additionally, he is a successful businessman since he retired, giving back to the South Florida community since leaving the game and just an all around nice guy. Someone you'd want your son to grow up to be like...
Walter Payton -- He was dedicated to and excelled at every phase of the game, and he was a gentleman off the field.
I remember as a kid seeing Mike Curtis come to the sideline with his middle finger broken and flopping around. They bent it all the way back and taped it to his wrist and he went back in the game. That is one tough SOB as well!
My favorite of all time is the best of all time... Dan Marino. Favorite non-Dolphin is Barry Sanders.

Jack Lambert. This is one of my favorites. Quote: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1091299/index.htm
Favorite ever: Marino Favorite active: Chad Henne Favorite active Non Dolphin: Ray Lewis Favorite Non Dolphin ever: Jerry Rice/LT (could never decide) Favorite active was JT...then he went to the Jets. As a result, I can no longer list him as a favorite.
This is a tough one for me as I wasn't old enough to get to see Marino's full career. I was born in '86 and started getting into the Dolphins towards the end of '93. So I did get to see greatness for 6 years. I just wish I had the chance to see him live in the 80's and early 90's. With that said, I'd have to say Zach Thomas. The man had HEART. Each and every game he put it all on the line for the team. Always told he was too small but it didn't stop him from becoming one of the best linebackers to play the game. It was too bad injuries did him in. He was so fun to watch, flying all over the field, drilling running backs into the grass. I miss him, and hope that one day he returns to the game because he is going to make a great coach. My current favorite player is Chad Henne.
