Who is your favorite all time Bronco?

I have two: QB Tim Lester and RB Jarvion Franklin.

I've been a Bronco football fan for over 30 years, and those two players rise to the top for me.

How about you?

Bob Rowe and Dale Livingston.

Marty Barski
Jim Vackaro

Ive been following bronco football since 2006.

Corey Davis!! Just a humble, hardworking guy.

He was such a show to watch.

That 2016 team was so special.

This is a tough question, and I don't have nearly as many years of Bronco fandom as some of you.

Corey Davis is an obvious candidate (NCAA career receiving yards leader, 2nd in career receiving TDs), but Darius Phillips keeps popping up in my mind when I think about this question. I've never seen a guy who can affect the game in all 3 phases like he did. Absolutely electric playmaker. Scored 14 career touchdowns five different ways (5 KR, 1 PR, 5 INT, 1 FR, 2 Receiving), tied FBS record with five career pick sixes, and 5th all time NCAA kick return yards.

Also shoutout to an unsung hero: Taylor Moton. The most dominant O-lineman I've seen in the MAC.

Too many to name but here are 5: John Offerdahl, Tony Kimbrough, Greg Jennings, Zach Terrell, Corey Davis.

Absolutely. That team was incredible, and you had guys like Davis and Moton who were superstars, yet so humble. You just love to see it.

Bob Rowe- never seen a more dominant player
Greg Jennings- hometown favorite
Corey Davis- so many thrilling moments

At first I thought that said "Rob Lowe" I was like when did Dean youngblood play for the bronco football team?? lol

I wish I had some unsung hero but it may be a while before we see a player like Corey Davis again.

My freshman roommate and I always called Steve Neal "Meijers" since the man was always open. Then Greg Jennings picked up where Neal left off. In my time at WMU we always had a great WR1.

The 1988 team produced a lot of my favorites. The Canadian brothers - Alan (WR) and Bruce (TE) Boyko always got my attention. After their time at WMU they both went on to play Canadian football. Also from the mid-late 1990s Robert Sanford at running back was special. I don't think he ever made it to the pros but he was fun to watch at WMU.

I’ll throw some new names out that haven’t been mentioned yet:

Robert Sanford
Brad Selant
Tony Scheffler
Louis Delmas
John Potter
Robert Spillaine
Sky Moore

Donnie Ernsberger. He was an old school, tough kid who was key in making our 2016 run game a dominate force.

Loved watching him destroy OLBs.

Alex Carder. Fun to watch and tough as nails.

I never saw Vackaro play but he was a local legend I heard of. Met him many years later and he was a good dude

That Jay McDonogh/Jimmy Vackaro backfield ('93) were out for a street fight every game. Fun to watch!

Been a fan since enrolling in 2001.

My under the radar answer is Jamarko Simmons and Branden Ledbetter, two guys I really wanted to have the ball. Ameer Ismail had a great motor too.

Jamarko was amazing, I was a student at WMU when he was there.

I remember his insane catches against Illinois at Ford Field.
