Who wouldn't want to hang out with Aaron Rodgers, the Super Bowl-winning quarterback of the Green Bay Packers? While that in itself would be reason enough, I'd also enjoy making fun of his (former?) friend Ryan Braun, the Milwaukee Brewers slugger who was suspended for 65 games in July due to the Biogenesis scandal.
According to the Madden commercials Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has starred in, he seems like a pretty avid gamer. I would love to test his skills and see if he can beat me.
A once-troubled star, Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall has wised up a lot. He now conducts himself like a true professional and he's actually a very intelligent human being, so I think we could have some great conversations pertaining both to football and other modern-day issues.
Speaking of Madden, Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is a guy I always enjoy having on my team. All I have to do is throw the ball in his vicinity and he will go up and get it. He'd be another fun guy to compete against in that very game.
Not only is Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton my favorite player, but he's also around my age, which would make for quite the conversations about pretty much everything. Plus, have you seen how big the guy is? I'm sure television doesn't do him justice.
Given that Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams is one of the biggest professional wrestling fans in the league, who better to sit down and watch a show with? As a matter of fact, I might try to talk him into taking me to a pay-per-view, as I know he attends them from time to time.
One of sports' true good guys, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has quite the story. He has been through so much adversity and yet he continues to smile through it all, which to me is infectious.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has always been one of the smartest players in the NFL. I'm sure he could teach me a lot.
Since former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis is now retired, why not talk to another one of his biggest fans, fellow No. 52 Patrick Willis of the San Francisco 49ers? Especially since we share the same religious beliefs, it would be a refreshing change from the way most football players act.
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III burst onto the scene last year and created quite the stir. He is another guy who is known for his wide smile, and I'm sure we'd share plenty of laughs.
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was also a rookie last year, staying fairly under the radar until later in the season. He's also an accomplished baseball player, and with MLB playoffs not far away, I'd love to see who he thinks will win the World Series and chat about everything else pertaining to America's pastime.
Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith is another guy who went under the radar at the beginning of his career, but the little guy with the big heart has proven all the doubters wrong. It'd be fun to hear him chirp about it all.
New England Patriots quarterback Tim Tebow is quite possibly the nicest guy in the history of sports. That alone would make for a fun time with him.
Not too many guys can say they've won three Super Bowls, broken all kinds of records and had relationships with two supermodels. New England's other quarterback, Tom Brady, can. That, coupled with the fact that the 36-year-old seems to have a pretty laid-back demeanor, mean that he would make good company for yours truly.
It's all about the hair, man. Nah, not really. Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu is widely considered one of the good guys in the NFL. Not that the hair isn't, well, interesting.
