Otto Graham is #1, and I am not saying that just because I am a CLV fan. He play four seasons (1946-1949) with the All American Football Conference and the Browns won the championship every season. The Browns moved to the NFL in 1950 (my birth year). He play 6 seasons and CLV won 3 championships and was in all 6 title games.
The cherry on the sundae: He played pro basketball for the Rochester Royals of the National Basketball League and they won the championship in the 1945-46 season. The NBL merged with the Basketball Association of America to form the NBA in 1949.
Interesting factoid from Wikipedia: Born into a family of four boys in Waukegan, Illinois, Graham set a first state record at birth weighing 14 lbs. 12 oz.

Gotcha. I didn’t realize you born then. But if you read up on him he was an all-around athlete and great winner. I think Brown talked him back from retirement and he still continued to win. If you got to see him play that is awesome.

@DogbiteWilliams I agree — he is in the mix in my historical QB rankings. But I think the question was about your top 5 that you saw play.
As I have stated several times, I don't watch that much sports compared to the average sports bettor, and I am not a skilled observer when I do. I just reported some facts that I already knew or dug up.
The oldest sports memory that I DID observe was Bill Mazeroski's dramatic walk-off home run in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series. It is still one of my all-time greatest sports moments.

I wouldn’t shortchange yourself. If you have been a sports guy that long, I imagine your observations are better than most.
