I'm going to go with Reggie Branch. Not because of his stats, or lack thereof, but because of this story:

While tailgating before the 2004 Redskins/Eagles game in DC, some Eagles fans Reggie knew caught up to him in the parking lot. Apparently he'd bet them in the first game that year that the Skins would win, and since they lost, he had to wear a T.O. jersey into the stadium. He had his 1987 Super Bowl ring on, and since I'm a loudmouth. I yelled "Reggie, you can't wear an Eagles jersey and a ring at the same time!"
He replied, "You're right," and handed me his ring. It was the heaviest piece of jewelry I'd ever touched. I had it for about three minutes before he took it back. Totally worth it.
