I do not have a particular one, but as a kid I thought Erik Kramer was the best QB in the league lol. I even had my parents buy me his jersey.

Not necessarily first memory, but one of my earliest that stuck with me because it was the first time I was going all in as a fan.

13 years old maybe, watching the NFL Draft. I had our word processor out, tracking every teams pick line by line until we got to #21 and that's when I KNEW we were going to the '96 Super Bowl. That franchise RB was none other than Rashaan Salaam. I ended up printing that first page with all the Rd 1 selections. Even taped it to the inside of my locker at school. Sometimes I miss that ignorant enthusiasm.
