He spoke the Truth. Darrell pound for Pound was the FASTEST Man to put on a pair of football cleats. Not on only was He fast, he played 20 Twenty years at Cornerback for the same Team. No other Cornerback has accomplished that.
Oh how I missed NFL Defensively from 1960's - 2005! The hits, interceptions, fumbles, stopped, and speed. Deacon Jones, Reggie White, Bruce Smith, Lawrence Taylor, Ray Lewis, Greg Lloyd, Derrick Thomas, Darrell Green, Deion Sanders, Rod Woodson, and Ed Reed.
@robny716 It truly was. I'm not a raiders fan but I was rooting for them in that game and I'll never forget that play. To this day I still say It's a fumble.
i grew up in latrobe, pa and saw the redskins come to scrimmage the steelers one training camp. rod woodson was my guy, but after that scrimmage i became a darrell green fan. that dude was so fast and so good.
Darrell Green is the man. When he turned the question from "Who do you think is good today" to ....Who do I think can sit at this table. He raised the stakes on all of the others.
Ronnie was not just one of the greatest defensive backs, but he was a leader on the team....he was the leader of that 49ers defense. Deion and Charles were pure talent. Rod, Derrell and Derrelle were technique and hard work.
Rod Woodson could've been the greatest Safety to ever play the game if he had played that position his entire career. Incredible athlete. The best Run defender at CB I ever saw.
Aeneas Williams #35 from the Arizonia Cardinals never gets mentioned! The most underrated corner I think, even though he is a Hall of Famer! He guarded the number# 1 receiver on every team while on a bad team in the NFC East,which was the toughest Division during the 90s. He also played at a high level in his last seasons as a Safety with the Rams when they lost to the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Facts. The perfect time for him to get mentioned was when Prime said in the 90s, in was just him and Darrell Green in the NFC. Both Aeneas Williams & Eric Allen were there.
Green was a 1 on 1 blanket cover corner who would lock down the opponents best receiver so the remining secondary members could play zone or double team others. He was so effective the ball wasn't even tossed in his direction more than a few times per game. He was unbelievably good. He is underrated because his name wasn't mentioned often because opposing QB's couldn't find their primary target open. This is why he didn't have many pick offs. No opportunities if the ball isn't near you. A different level than all others before or since.
@@RGsmokinthathunnitHMNdawgpound Guys the main thing which made Darrel known for his speed is the guys he ran down when he played, plus he's the only one who ran down Neapolean Kaufman
Well, if you match these guys up with the WRs that they lined up across from in the other video, the DBs clearly win. Might be a wash if they had included Moss and Megatron. Primetime handled Rice and Irvin on his own though.

Please just stop. Brady's sole advantage over Montana is the pathetic Arena League era of NFL he has enjoyed, and the patsies he gets to play against every week and every year in his weak ass division to rack up easy Ws and playoff position - and a conference that Belichick has owned for two decades. Montana played in the 1980s where it was still not only legal and fine for defenses to light QBs and WRs TF up all day, but when it came to the elite QBs, they were *trying* to light them up and get them TF out of the game. No buddy buddy, "sign my kid's jersey" hocus pocus crap like now. Moveover, the 1980s NFC was the nastiest conference in NFL history, with several other teams in it besides Montana's Niners that were SB winners, with some of the nastiest defenses in league history. Parcells' Giants, Ditka's Bears, Gibbs' Redskins, Landry's Cowboys, and other nasty defenses like Philly's and the Rams. There is a reason the NFCCG in that era was always referred to as *The Real Super Bowl!,* and that the NFC of that era won the SB like 15 out of 16 years! Montana had to beat other SB Champions just to GET to the SB! It's also no coincidence that most all of the long time NFL passing records broken, have been broken over the last decade or so. Nor it is a coincidence that today's top QBs have magically been able to play for 15, 16, 17, 18 years, and remain healthy into their 40s - which was unheard of in Montana's era, because QBs were mangled by then. The NFL has become a glorified Arena League, where defenses can't remotely light QBs (and WRs) up like the 1980s. Brady knows it as much as I do, trust me.
I wished they would have talked about who was their favorite opposing receiver matchup! C. Woodson vs Owens, Reevis vs Moss, Lott vs Monk, Deion vs Jerry, R. Woodson vs Irving, and Green vs Carter. It would have been very insightful to listen to their thoughts/opinions about which receiver inspired them the most!
Yeah that would have been great to listen to them talk about their favorite WR match up. I was able to see all of their careers and on top of them all being great athletes, they were masters at their craft. Very smart players!!
When you think about it, the CB position has produced almost as many Super Stars as WR and QB. Even in the 1920s, they had great CBs who made fans show up to watch
@@jasoncardwell8535 facts!!! I was a free safety and due to a few injuries at the CB position, our D coordinator tried to convert me to a cornerback... after 1 game they moved me back to FS!!! Lol!! Definitely takes a man to be a CB!! I learned I wasn’t as good as I thought I was gonna be”on the island!!!”
People forget Ronnie was a corner for the first 5 seasons and not just a corner the best corner during his time then switched to Safety then to be the greatest safety of all time,Just let that sink in for a sec....
I like the way these guys exude the supreme confidence it takes to be a great defensive back. Ask any of the great corners or safeties about who the best is and they will often say themselves...even when there is evidence to the contrary.
My favorite football memories involve Sunday afternoons on a clear, cool day...turning on NFL with Madden and Summeral taking about Montana, Elway, Marino, Rice, LT....all the super stars of that era. Great great memories of the NFL being physical intimidating and tough.
Plus the fact that the quarterbacks in Montana's era got hit just like every other player out there--there were no "protect the quarterback" rules when Montana balled--so it's almost impossible to compare Brady and Montana cuz two totally different eras--that being said, i love Brady but I'm a Montana guy.
Loved this roundtable...loved when the Woodson's bought up the fact that the real dogs and real great players gotta have that attitude that every ball comin' their way is "their ball"
Rod Woodson: Best all-around Ronnie Lott: Most Intimidating Deion Sanders: Best cover corner Darrell Green: Fastest corner Charles Woodson: Most talented Darrelle Revis: Most dominant
When you look at that round table, you have DPOY, SB Champions, Hall of Famers , two future H of F (Charles Woodson comes up this year and Darrelle Revis for 2023) There are a lot of names left off, but this is a hell of a round table.
My fave corner off all time.. dude was fast as hell on super tecmo bowl.. I was playing with the bills in the superbowl..and I threw a bomb to Andre Reed whom had a step on green . Dude catches up an snags an insane int..I lost the super bowl 42-21
That was a bit of a myth though. He told the story one day in an interview on an Atlanta station, and it wasn't what people make of it. He said the tip of his pinky was removed and it happened during the off season.
Give me Rod Woodson all day. Best all around football player I’ve ever seen. All pro cornerback at 24 years old and all pro safety at the age of 37. That’s just crazy. Charles Woodson is #2 for me.
It’s crazy I remember all of these legends playing DB. Nostalgia. I’ve always wanted to be in the room and hear them talk about those greatest plays and what they were thinking. This was a #homerun
Steve Atwater, Brian Dawkins, Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, Leroy Butler, Derelle Revis, Richard Sherman, Ty Law, Ronde Barber, John Lynch, Merton Hanks and Tim McDonald my favorite secondaries growing up not at the table.
U can't categorize safety's with CBs two different positions just like a mike mlb is completely different from an outside lb especially in a 3-4 defense. It's one thing if it's a DT and DE combined for a d line vid because they both have slightly different roles for the most part there they same and a lot of times they are moved around a lot like DEs are moved inside like Brandon Graham,Bennett etc and DTs are sometimes moved outside like Aaron Donald,Cox etc so Dt and De positions are not completely different as where a safety is to a CB is, sure there guys that can play both CB and S but it's not as much
Love this!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. As a former DB in HS and College....i love this. Next generation? Richard Sherman, Jaire Alexander, Jalen Ramsey, Stephon Gilmore, Tra'davious White, Marlon Humphrey & in the mold of Rod Woodson with the Safety...Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Man that is a table of greats right there. I miss watching the NFL fastest man competition. Cause they had some dogs then. Darryl Green won that thing like 3 or 4 times. He even beat Hershel who was an alternate on the Olympic team. I would've loved to see him vs Prime time.
@@jlnolan1 If he had remained healthy I think that he is a candidate for the table.And of course they would ask him about the obvious subject of race.Chris Carter once accused him of holding and Sehorn said"tell your QB to throw a better ball" the QB was Randall Cunningham.I saw footage of him keeping Michael Irvin in check.
Emmanuel Enyinwa I mean, I think I see where you’re coming from. Deion was defense, offense, special teams so he could control the game on 3 sides of the ball. But if we’re talking strict position, like Deion only as CB and LT strictly at LB then it’s not even close. LT dominated that position in a way no one has ever dominated a position
This is definitely the best of the best cornerbacks! But I have to be honest, I've never seen anyone have better coverage skills on a receiver than Darrelle Revis! During his peak prime years, he would always cover their best number one receiver man to man.... He was so good on coverage that I've actually watched Top notch receivers get so frustrated and just quit and not want to play anymore, because they could not get open off of him!
I've heard Deion say the best two pieces of football advice I've ever heard: (1) "If you don't like them running up the score, stop 'em." (2) "Take a chance. Don't be afraid to make a play."
Great panel. I saw Aeneas Williams in the Nashville airport last year and it brought those memories of knocking Steve Young out for his career. It still stings. But he was the best that ever played along with Reed and Polamalu. Mad respect
@@luffyskywalker7549 LT was an outside linebacker in a 3-4...so yeah, he was technically a linebacker but you need to be aware of the scheme. You will hardly ever see a OLB move to a 3-4 DE position which is generally a two gap technique.
I was in a hospital bed in FLW army base that Monday nite when Green ran down Dorsett. I was like who is this guy? When Tony broke it was a wrap til that nite...
@@mikebowsr351511 I was at that game 9/5/83. I think it was WR Tony Hill who ran a weak out with Green covering him. Dorsett went off left tackle. Green running across the field was PRICELESS to watch!
Darrell Green played corner from age 23-42 that is an insane accomplishment in itself, never had to move to safety that’s how fast he was.
He was too small to play safety.
Never a major injury most importantly but more incredible Rod Woodson was a sub 4.3 guy at CB and All-Pro then moved to FS and became an All-Pro!
@@GuapoSantana Woodson started out as a SAFETY then according to him he clocked a 4.3 at the combine he was automatically moved to CORNER

There is a reason the NFCCG in that era was always referred to as *The Real Super Bowl!,* and that the NFC of that era won the SB like 15 out of 16 years! Montana had to beat other SB Champions just to GET to the SB! It's also no coincidence that most all of the long time NFL passing records broken, have been broken over the last decade or so. Nor it is a coincidence that today's top QBs have magically been able to play for 15, 16, 17, 18 years, and remain healthy into their 40s - which was unheard of in Montana's era, because QBs were mangled by then. The NFL has become a glorified Arena League, where defenses can't remotely light QBs (and WRs) up like the 1980s. Brady knows it as much as I do, trust me.
Wish they’d thrown some love to Night train, he was the original game changer at DB.
And, the 'other' Lion: Lem Barney
They should have had safeties separate cause you can’t have nfl 100 “defensive backs” w/o Troy & Ed it’s blasphemous
Didnt think about that till now...u right
They should've had champ bailey in there
Word
Font forget dawk
Right Champ Bailey should've been there
Missing Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed baby!!!!
They were safeties
Last time I checked a Safety is a DB
@@isasadamuli9222 no a safety is a safety and a db is a db
This for CORNER BACKS
Kamauri Wilson Please read out loud what you just said and delete the comment lol.
Six legends! 🙌
(they should've had Ed Reed join them at this table)
Reed and Polamalu
It was cornerbacks
@@TheLuscious Ronnie Lott a Safety
@@deejayjohnson7482 He played corner first half of his career
Go do some research on Mel Blount and you will realize the NFL hated this man. No way he shouldn't b here
So much greatness in one round table...... over 8 SB Rings 💍
D. Sanders
R. Woodson
C. Woodson
D. Green
R. Lott
D. Revis 🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏻
11 to be exact. Scary thought.
I always thought Ron Woodson was on Par with Prime Time..
Just with out the flash , because Rod also played Safety and could tackle better.
@@saevurr Did Revis get a ring , did he play with the Pats to end his career I forget ..to lazy to use Google
@@Peakfreud yes 12 rings combined Lott 4 green 3
Troy P should’ve been at this table.
Imagine if these guys were in one secondary together and they faced Nathan Peterman every week...
Peterman would not be allowed to throw. His team would bring back some old Army single wing whatever formation from 1940 something lol.
@@mpound97 My mother could pick off Peterman!!!!!!!!!!
Forget peterman. If They faced your favorite quarterback it’d be the same result
@@geebabyt1221 Ray Charles or Helen Keller could have picked Peterman!!!!!!!
The rules would change to help Peterman and appease the fair weather fans
I wished they would have talked about who was their favorite opposing receiver matchup! C. Woodson vs Owens, Reevis vs Moss, Lott vs Monk, Deion vs Jerry, R. Woodson vs Irving, and Green vs Carter. It would have been very insightful to listen to their thoughts/opinions about which receiver inspired them the most!
Yeah that would have been great to listen to them talk about their favorite WR match up. I was able to see all of their careers and on top of them all being great athletes, they were masters at their craft. Very smart players!!
Jeez now that u mention that, how was that not the FIRST topic. SMH
I'm surprised Ed Reed and Mel Blount are not at this table.
RICOLIVES116 PS4 Ed reed is a safety Mel Blount is 71 idk if he would have wanted to
Agreed Ed Reed was a complete safety and will be a Ravens legend
@@richardfagley2947 Ronnie Lott is a safety and he's on here. This is DBs, not just corners
@@MrGrace ronnie played every position
E-D REED BOI GREATEST SAFETY YOU’VE EVER SEEN BOI
The Woodsons on the left, Darrell & Darelle on the right, Ronnie & Prime in the middle?
Legendary NFL DBs!!!
Had to come back and watch this after Washington(finally) retired DG’s jersey. His response to Rod & Deion to who’s the fastest is classic🏈
When you think about it, the CB position has produced almost as many Super Stars as WR and QB. Even in the 1920s, they had great CBs who made fans show up to watch
Best position on the field in my eyes🤷🏽♂️
Tyrone Johnson Jr Same here bruh! ✊🏾
@@qsplak that island make a man outta you...
@@jasoncardwell8535 facts!!! I was a free safety and due to a few injuries at the CB position, our D coordinator tried to convert me to a cornerback... after 1 game they moved me back to FS!!! Lol!! Definitely takes a man to be a CB!! I learned I wasn’t as good as I thought I was gonna be”on the island!!!”
Greatest damn position on the field! Gotta be a straight up dawg to play DB! Green and Sanders was who I studied growing up!
People forget Ronnie was a corner for the first 5 seasons and not just a corner the best corner during his time then switched to Safety then to be the greatest safety of all time,Just let that sink in for a sec....
I know. These youngsters don’t even know that.
I like the way these guys exude the supreme confidence it takes to be a great defensive back. Ask any of the great corners or safeties about who the best is and they will often say themselves...even when there is evidence to the contrary.
Ronny Lott, pound for pound, is arguably the hardest hitting playing to ever play the game.
Great panel!!!
My favorite football memories involve Sunday afternoons on a clear, cool day...turning on NFL with Madden and Summeral taking about Montana, Elway, Marino, Rice, LT....all the super stars of that era. Great great memories of the NFL being physical intimidating and tough.
Ronnie made it known my boy never lost lmao 😂
😂😂😂💯💯💯
Yeah, it's definitely to lose before the SB than in it. *eye roll
Plus the fact that the quarterbacks in Montana's era got hit just like every other player out there--there were no "protect the quarterback" rules when Montana balled--so it's almost impossible to compare Brady and Montana cuz two totally different eras--that being said, i love Brady but I'm a Montana guy.
Chris Rey....YOU GOTDAMN RIGHT!!
@@heirling25 That's a really good point..but Brady is still the goat..
Loved this roundtable...loved when the Woodson's bought up the fact that the real dogs and real great players gotta have that attitude that every ball comin' their way is "their ball"
I'm no longer a fan of football but I love the men on this panel. My generation of heroes!
Everyone talking about how champ shoulda been on here.
Remember champ, darrell, and deion were on the same team for a season....
When
Young Medi 2000 I think
and?? whats your point????
Rod Woodson: Best all-around
Ronnie Lott: Most Intimidating
Deion Sanders: Best cover corner
Darrell Green: Fastest corner
Charles Woodson: Most talented
Darrelle Revis: Most dominant
Champ Bailey: most agility cornerback
SassyMama 99 you do know this is a football segment right?? What does Lebron James have to do with this??
When you look at that round table, you have DPOY, SB Champions, Hall of Famers , two future H of F (Charles Woodson comes up this year and Darrelle Revis for 2023) There are a lot of names left off, but this is a hell of a round table.
Darrell Green was so good but most people don't remember him. Top 5 favorite player of mine
Wooogly idk why. He was a beast.
My fave corner off all time.. dude was fast as hell on super tecmo bowl.. I was playing with the bills in the superbowl..and I threw a bomb to Andre Reed whom had a step on green . Dude catches up an snags an insane int..I lost the super bowl 42-21
DG28 was humble. Despite his skill and talent he was not overtly cockie
That dude cut off his finger to play football!!! Ronnie Lott is a beast!!!
That was amazing 😢 as a cornerback myself I love this video and will say we needed this sit down with these guys.
Ive been loving every minute of these roundtable discussions. Keep making them NFL Films
I have Green by a half step in a race with prime time in their primes. Deion was quick and fast but green had the speed of Mercury!
id say a step in a half darrell 4.15 deion 4.27 facts
Green beat Olympic runners.
In full pads and helmet, Prime would get Green
@@MaxxMB no way in hell. Prime was fast, but Darrell Green was FAST! There's levels to it.
Nothing inspires me more then great athletes explaining what it takes to be great!
Who else clicked this fast af 😂
Lol instantly
(looks left-to-right, raises hand with eeeeeevil grin)
I did for sure lmao
Ronnie Lott is such a badass. Dude gave up part of his finger to keep playing in a game. He wanted it.
It all comes down to how bad do you want it.
Ed Reed said Lott is da GOAT because he has 9 fingers 😂
That was a bit of a myth though. He told the story one day in an interview on an Atlanta station, and it wasn't what people make of it. He said the tip of his pinky was removed and it happened during the off season.
Ronnie would lose half his salary in today NFL.. today players wouldn’t last in the league during Ronnie era
Give me Rod Woodson all day. Best all around football player I’ve ever seen. All pro cornerback at 24 years old and all pro safety at the age of 37. That’s just crazy. Charles Woodson is #2 for me.
Best all around football player???? How??? Prime played CB, safety, WR, PR, KR
@@dimariobell8499 Prime has claim at best athlete but at that table his tackling is a weakness in his game that the others don't have
@@OldSchool3pts still the best all around player ever
It’s crazy I remember all of these legends playing DB. Nostalgia. I’ve always wanted to be in the room and hear them talk about those greatest plays and what they were thinking. This was a #homerun
That was 20 mins? felt like 5, LEGENDS at that table.
This is the best video I've ever watched ...love all these guys GOATS
The question that everybody wanted to hear who was the hardest receiver to cover.....🤔🤔
Definitely moss or rice
@@Alexchamplooo Of their era???
Dwight Lol they pretty much played in all the eras basically, but specifically for revis its the bad man Calvin Johnson😈
@@Alexchamplooo I mean I remember aj green burning revis
The answer is allways jerry
I would have loved to hear them talk about the best wide receiver they played against
Steve Atwater, Brian Dawkins, Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, Leroy Butler, Derelle Revis, Richard Sherman, Ty Law, Ronde Barber, John Lynch, Merton Hanks and Tim McDonald my favorite secondaries growing up not at the table.
Joey Browner was a beast as well.
U can't categorize safety's with CBs two different positions just like a mike mlb is completely different from an outside lb especially in a 3-4 defense. It's one thing if it's a DT and DE combined for a d line vid because they both have slightly different roles for the most part there they same and a lot of times they are moved around a lot like DEs are moved inside like Brandon Graham,Bennett etc and DTs are sometimes moved outside like Aaron Donald,Cox etc so Dt and De positions are not completely different as where a safety is to a CB is, sure there guys that can play both CB and S but it's not as much
Yep
Champ Bailey??? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
There were certain teams you hated to hate because they had a player you loved. Lott was one of those players for me. I just loved watching him play.
My fav two players ever Prime and Charles Woodson 🙌🏾
I love Ronnie Lott! He said it Joe Montana never lost a Super Bowl
Love this!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. As a former DB in HS and College....i love this. Next generation? Richard Sherman, Jaire Alexander, Jalen Ramsey, Stephon Gilmore, Tra'davious White, Marlon Humphrey & in the mold of Rod Woodson with the Safety...Minkah Fitzpatrick.
I think this is the first position table where all members won a Super Bowl
I feel that's why champ Bailey was left out
*Charles a true Raider*
*{always wears them colors even when he is rocking a suit}*
●..●
Man that is a table of greats right there. I miss watching the NFL fastest man competition. Cause they had some dogs then. Darryl Green won that thing like 3 or 4 times. He even beat Hershel who was an alternate on the Olympic team. I would've loved to see him vs Prime time.
Last era of true "Shutdown" corners. If 2 more I'd say Aeneas Williams and Ed Reed. Everyone here tho well deserved & well respected.💯
Aeneas Williams. Wow, forgot about him. Great call.
@@jlnolan1 Do you remember JASON SEHORN he was Michael Irvin's worse nightmare.He had size and speed 6-3 216 4.35 and Irvin could not escape from him.
@@dwightlove3704 I do. He was a bad man in his prime and his wife was a dime too. Not sure he would make this table though.
@@jlnolan1 If he had remained healthy I think that he is a candidate for the table.And of course they would ask him about the obvious subject of race.Chris Carter once accused him of holding and Sehorn said"tell your QB to throw a better ball" the QB was Randall Cunningham.I saw footage of him keeping Michael Irvin in check.
@@jlnolan1 Sehorn was being called the ROD WOODSON of the '90s.
Mel Blunt should've been at that table.
Absolutely
Aw hell yeah!!!
Lester Hayes should have been there.
@@hassanabdur-rahman1559 used stickum
Lemar Parrish Ken Reilly hello !!!
These guys are definitely the greatest DBs ever! Not able to start 1 over the other! 🙌
Kept cuttin Darell Green off when he was tryin talk HTTR 🐐
Imagine Ronnie Lott rod woodson and Charles Woodson all playing for the same team 👌
10:58 that pats pack game was also the game where dan connolly had that insane kick return (the o lineman)
Deion "The GOAT" Sanders: most dominant football player of all time. Hands down.
LT entered the chat dog.
@@Magicstockton He was the most FEARED. Deion was the most DOMINANT. There's a huge difference.
Emmanuel Enyinwa I mean, I think I see where you’re coming from. Deion was defense, offense, special teams so he could control the game on 3 sides of the ball. But if we’re talking strict position, like Deion only as CB and LT strictly at LB then it’s not even close. LT dominated that position in a way no one has ever dominated a position
Hands down the most dominant ever.... A corner
Lawrence Taylor
This is definitely the best of the best cornerbacks! But I have to be honest, I've never seen anyone have better coverage skills on a receiver than Darrelle Revis! During his peak prime years, he would always cover their best number one receiver man to man.... He was so good on coverage that I've actually watched Top notch receivers get so frustrated and just quit and not want to play anymore, because they could not get open off of him!
I’d take Revis out and put Bailey instead.
Darrell Green was the fasted I’ve ever seen. And ran a 4:4 40 at 40 years old.
Ty Law and Champ Bailey should've been added to this group too. 💯
Facts!
Ed Reed too
Ed Reed must have been unable to attend, because he’s on the Mt.Rushmore of DB’s just as much as Deion and Ronnie Lott.
I've heard Deion say the best two pieces of football advice I've ever heard: (1) "If you don't like them running up the score, stop 'em." (2) "Take a chance. Don't be afraid to make a play."
Great panel. I saw Aeneas Williams in the Nashville airport last year and it brought those memories of knocking Steve Young out for his career. It still stings. But he was the best that ever played along with Reed and Polamalu. Mad respect
Definitely underrated
Safeties are separate... some people seem confused.
It doesn't say corners or safety...it says DBs. Ronnie Lott is regarded by many as the greatest safety ever...
@@nyquilnu2221 I think it's ed Reed but there'd be more than 1 safety if it was for both. LT wasn't a linebacker but he was in the linebacker episode.
@@luffyskywalker7549 LT was an outside linebacker in a 3-4...so yeah, he was technically a linebacker but you need to be aware of the scheme. You will hardly ever see a OLB move to a 3-4 DE position which is generally a two gap technique.
@@nyquilnu2221 I met mlb
I love these football roundtables. The other one with my dude Ray Lewis and Lawrence Taylor was lit.
Champ Bailey, Ed reed, Darren Sharper, the list goes on man
Darren Sharper??
Just A Guy In The Comments yes Darren sharper
Darren sharper
Charles Woodsons wearing the same shirt, AP was wearing the running back version of this.
Loved this. DB is my favorite position to play (in high school) and watch.
This is the best one yet! Prime
As a Dallas fan I must admit the Darryl Green was the fastest. He ran down Tony Dorsett and Eric Dickerson. He was lightning!⚡⚡⚡
Deion 4.25 Green and Bo Jackson 4.2
I was in a hospital bed in FLW army base that Monday nite when Green ran down Dorsett. I was like who is this guy? When Tony broke it was a wrap til that nite...
@@mikebowsr351511 I was at that game 9/5/83. I think it was WR Tony Hill who ran a weak out with Green covering him. Dorsett went off left tackle. Green running across the field was PRICELESS to watch!
Wow, what a table, all my favorite DBs with Deion being my all-time, good to see 3 of them were 9ers. 😀
I noticed that (49ers)...and 3 were Raiders. 😎
Ronnie Lott looks like he should be the Star of Taken 4. Dude still looks intimidating.
