Top 5 Tuesday

I am going to try to do this every week.  My top 5 this week is in honor of D'Angelo Hall winning ProBowl MVP.  Give me your top 5 DB's of all time (corners and safeties).  Here is my top 5:

1)  Deion Sanders - He invented the term shut down corner, 'nuff said.
2)  Ronnie Lott - One of the toughest guys to ever play the game and a staple of that 49er's D that won all those championships.
3)  Troy Polamalu - I think this guy means more to the Steelers than Big Ben, seriously.
4)  Rod Woodson - This guy has the stats to back up his ranking on my list (NFL record for int return yards and int returned for TD) and has a ring.
5)  Ed Reed - This guy is a ball hawk.  This past year he missed the first 6 games and still led the league in INT's by the end of the year.  The lack of a ring kept him from being hire.

As a Redskin fan, an honorable mention is Darrell Green who was Mr. Consistency for 20 years and has 3 rings.
