Best defensive backs ever!
 

I don't know many, but here's my list:

1. Rod Woodson

2. Deion Sanders

3. Ronnie Lot

4. Ty Law

Opinions?

Lott and Woodson for damn sure, Sanders is a top 10 all-time corner, Law is a future HOFer. I watch a lot of the old-school NFL Films stuff, and guys like Larry Wilson and Dick "Night Train" Lane stick out to me. Wilson, a strong safety, pioneered the safety blitz, and Night Train Lane was probably the hardest hitter during the 50s and 60s...and he was a cornerback, not a safety. Mike Haynes, Ken Houston, and Mel Blount joined Lane, Lott, Woodson, and Wilson on the All-Time team back in '94. For the record, Houston was the guy who made one of the greatest tackles ever when he stuffed a Dallas fullback on the goal line on Monday Night Football. And one more thing about Wilson...he once intercepted 2 passes in one game with 2 broken hands. That's just bad ass.

But if I have to pick one to be the all-time greatest, I think I'd go with Ronnie Lott.

Great choice! If I had to pick my all time favorite, it would have to be Sanders! I just think he was the most entertaining, not to mention the biggest trash talker, and no one could catch a ball when he was defending them. Not to mention, when he did intercept the ball, that was pretty much a guaranteed TD. He may have been the fastest CB ever!

I wouldnt put Law in the Top 5

A general Top 5 would consist of..

Lott, Sanders, Rod Woodson, Dick Lane, and Mel Blount

Honorable Mention: Willie Brown, Mike Haynes, Lester Hayes, Jack Tatum(just for being so damn underrated) and no not just because they were all Raiders.

Needs more Jack Tatum.

In my time watching, here's my list:
Atwater
Lott
Sanders
Law

Honorable mention
Bailey
Sharper
Shepherd
Madison
McKenzie
Mike Brown
