Barber was known as one of NFL's premier pass-catchin' backs for several years. From 1999 through 2003, he averaged over 69 catches per season. Later in his career he was used more as a runner, but he still has excellent hands.

Zinedine Zidane--34 It's unfortunate that many will cite Zidane's head-butt in final match of 2006 World Cup as 1 of most memorable moments of his career, because 3-time World Footballer of Year deserves better. 1 of greatest soccer players ever, Zidane led France to 1998 World Cup title n' 2000 European Championship, dazzlin' millions with his fundamentals n' artistry on pitch.
