I was in the endzone and he intercepted a pass, he stumbled forward while avoiding a tackle with all his weight on one leg, the tackle bowed his leg backwards and I knew he was done, bad bad injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an unusual hit to a fully planted leg, never saw that type of injury then or now. A leg fully bowing backwards.

Outstanding athlete... excellent return man... but, boy, it was frustrating when he was draped on a receiver and still allowed the catch.

BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Antoine WInfield was a absolute beast, he hit everything that moved, smart and he was a smaller guy, loved watching him play. A close 2nd for me is Nate Clements, Stephon Gilmore 3rd and Tre White 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelius Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I remember the year to year shock of losing Winfield. He stepped it up even further immediately in Minnesota and it was very obvious very early how much of an impact player he was and it just felt like we screwed up again. And then he made 3 pro bowls in his 30s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt in KC Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Best Ball Skills? Clements Best Tackler? Winfield (And best overall CB IMO) Most recognized/ordained by NFL talking heads? Gilmore (And White was cementing too as a "shutdown corner") Which would you most want to return a kick off for you? McGee (also excellent man-on-man) (One of the best kick returns of all time, and it added up to nothing as time expired in the half lol) - I didn't see Byrd or Edgerson play..

Sestak4ever Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 17 hours ago, K-9 said: Yep. And it really isn’t all that close. Nope, that would be Robert James. 1st team All Pro in both 1973 and 1974 seasons. I still go with Butch Byrd, however I loved watching Robert James. One thing no one has mentioned yet is that James made his mark and earned his role initially as a great special teams gunner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Derrick Burroughs had a rough first couple of years, but he was coming on as the guy, but he got a career ending neck injury in Houston week 3 of the 1989 season. He was a big, fast, physical corner that the SB teams SURELY could have used. His career ended at age 27. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
