Who is your favorite GT player ever and why?

Jerry Mays was awfully fun to watch in the mid 80's. Undersized but big heart. But I have to go with Eddie Lee Ivery as my favorite. I don't believe we've had a better RB at Tech.
David Sims, the mid 1970's one, was pretty good just before Ivery
 
Josh Nesbitt, and it isn't even close. Morgan Burnett is my honorary favorite player for playing for tech and being a career packer

Edit

Let's be honest, Calvin is everyone's favorite. This post is for the second favorite.
 
Jimmy Southard - Tech QB ...
Also my Dad :)
I think I saw him play in one of the first games my Dad (also a Tech man) took me to, I think Auburn 1948. It was a different time and a really big deal for an eight-year old.
 
Justin Thomas.

I went to GT Day to meet the players, and got autographs from every position group except the QBs. I stupidly left that group for last because the line was the longest. Anyway, the event was over and there was still about a quarter of the line left in front of the QB table. All the QBs got up and headed for the locker room....except Justin. He literally walked down the line and signed every single persons jersey or poster who was left. I'll never forget that.

Justin Thomas has met them all.
 
I gotta go with Joe Hamilton. It was amazing watching him play, and you gotta love someone who beat the doggies twice.




Honorable mention to Peter Pund.


Some tremendous players listed on this thread but I will go with hometown (Albany, Ga) favorites: Darryl Smith and Gary Lee. Outstanding players one from Dougherty High School and the other from Westover.
 
Jonathan Smith, Marcus Wright, Tashard Choice, James Butler, Josh Nesbitt, Justin Thomas
 
Gary Lee, Harrison Butker, DJ White,Luke Manget, Chris Young..all of these guys have one thing in common (besides playing for Tech of course).
 
Just got through watching the Pats with another return to the SB and I watched Shaq Mason for the most part. He certainly deserves a mention. He was his usual steady self in the middle of that OL.
