I don't follow Pro football much, but I guess I'd say I'm a Lions fan. They suck(but did well last year), I mostly follow them because they're my state's team.
I was born & raised in SF, so it was inevitable, especially since I grew up watching them in their golden Montana-Young-Rice era. They had some rough seasons recently, but I think they are well on their way to recapturing their glory years.
They haven't been good since the 80s, but looks like that might be changing!
Favorite player was Chris Cooley, lol.
I follow them because I grew up in DC (and my dad, bros, DH, etc. follow them).
Woot 'Skins and RGIII DH is from Maryland so I am forced to follow them.
I follow the Seahawks just because I claim Seattle as my hometown no matter where I may live.
I follow the Green Bay Packers because I love that they are the only publicly owned team in the NFL. I even bought a share when they were offering for their last stadium renovation. Shameful waste of several hundred dollars but I can say that I own part of an NFL franchise. ;D (Even if it's more of a non-payable bond than a share they still call it a share and you're still an "owner" even if there are no voting rights or anything else attached to these particular shares.)

America's Team, baby. I grew up as a Dallas fan, so it's in my blood Romo's OK, I like some of the other players better.
I also follow the Ravens (I lived in Baltimore for 10 years and have a bit of a crush on their coach--too old to crush on a player ha ha), 49ers (Harbaugh used to coach at my university), and I pay a bit of attention to the Packers since I lived in WI for a while.
I own a Dallas (Romo) jersey and a Ravens (R Lewis) jersey. They were in heavy rotation this weekend, to no avail

As per my screenname, NY Giants. I actually grew up following the Jets since my dad is a Jets fan, but DH is a Giants fan and I have to live with him, so Giants it is!
My favorite Giants players right now are Cruz and JPP. Non-giants favorite player is probably Peyton Manning.

Browns fan here. My favorite players are Phil Dawson and Joe Haden. I am a die hard fan... Love the Browns. Cleveland is my adopted hometown, and I have adopted the team (and the misery) as well.
