I need a secretary of defense,need a player opposite of Smith. Qb’s heads will be on a swivel against this dynamic duo.
Deacon Jones
Best year 1968 defensive player of the year. (22 sacks)
Rod Woodson
Probably the most athletic CB the game ever saw, could do it all. Great physical tackler, great punt returner and rush the passer and played every DB position. Blessed to have him as the 4th corner off the board.
Best season 1993 8 Int’s DPOY
Achievements: One Super Bowl, seven-time Pro Bowler, five-time All-Pro*
*Woodson switched to safety during the bulk of his time in Baltimore and Oakland
In terms of everything a cornerback is asked to do on the field—cover, tackle, nab interceptions, advance fumbles and interceptions for scores, even rush the passer—Woodson might very well be the most complete player ever to play the position.
During his career in Pittsburgh, Woodson bullied ball-carriers and forced 20 fumbles, scored six defensive touchdowns and was consistently one of the Steelers' leading tackles. One season (1992) he was even the team's runner-up in sacks, recording six—only one-half less than Greg Lloyd.
The ACL injury that cost Woodson almost all of the 1995 regular season—but didn't stop him from playing in Super Bowl ***—ultimately forced him to switch over to safety, where he greatly added to his stats and won a Super Bowl ring. However, his greatest legacy is still as a cornerback.
