I never had the privilege of watching Byrd or James. Byrd is highly regarded as a CB, as was James. Of those I’ve witnessed, Derrick Burroughs was every bit as good as Odomes and his career was cut short due to a neck injury. If he hadn’t gotten hurt, our defense would’ve been even better. He was replaced by Kirby Jackson, who should’ve been relegated to a nickel role. Winfield is right there with Burroughs and Odomes and Winfield was one of my favorite players along with McGee. BTW, Belichick used to rave about McGee. That says a lot.
