Darrin Smith lb. He was one of my favs. Quick and athletic. Another lb was Randal Godfrey.

Leon Lett. Would have been an awesome 3 tech today. Super quick.
Darren Smith. very underrated LB.
Kevin Smith. (Pre-injury) Today after an Achilles he would be right back out there, too bad.

Kevin Smith who was a better corner than Deion before injuries took over.

Lett so big and so fast off the ball, would have been a HOF if his head was on straight.

Woodson a LB with corner skills playing safety a rare player indeed.

Check out Smith playing Rice with no help and get back to me. Deion was incredibly overrated, you attack him with a physical receiver and he was very ordinary...Dallas was never afraid to throw at him.

I would not go that far, but Kevin Smith was really good. Jerry Rice's big catches always seemed to go against Larry Brown.

There were so many I hated to reduce it to three.

But, for playing along - Haley, Casillas, and Everett.

With a whole bunch of honorable mentions beginning with Bates!

Sure I can find many games of Smith too where he was overrated. I remember Deion didn't have safety help like Smith or the other Dallas corners had.

Haley, Norton, Washington

Honorable mention to Pup. Woody, Lett and Deion were more talented than 3 chosen but those 3 put the nasty in that 90's defense.
