| Seriously though, does this include all DB's or just CB's? My vote if it's just CB's would be Rod Woodson, b/c of his tenacious D, but also b/c of his ability to return kicks. Now, if we are are looking at DB's overall, I'd have to go w/Ronnie Lott. That dude was a machine. |

Yeah. Thought I would throw him in there. :P :lol:
Yeah,LeRoy Butler was a mean man. :shock: :P The Pack has had some really good talent over the years. Correct me if I'm wrong,but wasnt it LeRoy Butler that invented the leap thingie,when the guys jump up in the end zone,and the crowd hugs them? |

"The Hammer" was a wimp compared to Jack Tatum of the Raiders. Tatum would bust his own mother open if he ever got the chance.
Nighttrain Lane was scary bad, the NFL invented a few rules to stop him from injuring WR's trying to catch passes. You aren't allowed to clothesline a guy nor grab them by the facemask and tackle them these days, but those were HIS ways to tackle someone. |

Whether you liked his flashiness or not, Deion Sanders for all around pure CB talent, has to be mentioned in the same group as one of the best. Even more so for his abilities to return kicks and to double as a WR. The guy was flat out talented.
Add Jason Sehorn to that group, too. |
