Currently playing, Brett Farve. Down to earth, and still has the strongest arm in the NFL. Also actually has fun playing the game. He didn't go out as a free agent and try to gain some more money, he stuck with Green Bay signing a "lifetime" contract while still having to deal with the inept receivers he has there.
Past athlete, Barry Sanders. Just flat out the most amazing player to watch. He could flat out do things no one else could. He was also humble and didn't ever make a huge celebration that was every bigger and more elaborate than the play itself. In fact, I can't remember ever seeing a Barry Sanders celebration.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
