Money?

James 'Shack' Harris.

I have long admired the way he fought against bigotry and stereotypes and blazed a path for others as both a player and exec.

I like your premise. Please fill us in. Wikipedia only gives us a glossed/generic overview of his life.
 
Marshall freaking Faulk. For almost all of the reasons you listed.

I wouldn't want Faulk's life ... on the field success? yes.

But the multiple kids, legal financial failures, and his "me too" embarrassment situation that he now has to live with? no. I wouldn't want to be Marshall Faulk now.
 
Isaac Bruce .... (looking at it through his eyes) ... "the guy who refused to let Bruce me retire as a Ram, Jay Zigmunt, got fired immediately after I scored my 100th TD catch, 1000th reception, and become the #2 in career reception yards ... in a 49ers uniform IN ST. LOUIS"

Someone remind me ... who was it that caught the come from behind TD pass with 2 minutes to go in the 4th quarter of Super Bowl XXXIV ?

Aaron Donald. Super successful and already considered to be one of the best ever at such a young age. Oh and he's about to get PAID.

I'll just steal your criteria.

Individual success - Ike Bruce

Team success - Kurt Warner

Health and longevity - SJack

Stability - James Laurinaitis

Overcoming obstacles - IDK...

Money - Todd Gurley...that In 'n Out Burger money
 
I’ll be the first to say Jackie Slater. The man came to work day in and day out and kicked ass for decades. Nineteen years of earning the respect of your peers and inciting fear in your enemies. We’ve had some damn good linemen, but to me none have been as good and none nearly as long.

That wasn't the question. The question was who's career.

Yeah, Rev Ike might be my choice after all. That wasn't a come from behind TD however, just a Superbowl winning one!
