The poll on the HailStateBEAT site for all-time DB has a good slate of nominees, and is a challenge to pare it down to four. To me, Smoot, Harris and Banks were pretty easy but the 4th was difficult. I went with Pegues slightly over Prather, mainly because he was such a playmaker after an interception. Honorable mention to Cooper who was a favorite, and Mitchell who could just flat out tackle.

1. Smoot
2. Harris
3. Banks
4. Pegues

HM: Prather, Cooper, Mitchell

I went with Harris, Smoot, Banks, and Cooper. Pig had more accolades and was a better athlete than Cooper, but I just loved watching Cooper knock the **** out of people.

My 4:
1. Smoot
2. Harris
3. Banks
4. Prather

Like you said, 1st 3 were easy. Definitely a coin flip for that 4th spot between Pig, Cooper and Pegues for me.

Everybody is forgetting how great Robert Bean was.

Eric Brown should be on the list or at least an option, imo.

I can put together a secondary of NFL players.............

that he left off the list. All of these guys had careers of 5 seasons or more in the NFL.

Kirby Jackson
Bruce Plummer
Kenny Johnson
Eric Brown

Everybody is forgetting how great Robert Bean was.

Exactly. Was thinking the same thing.

Any top list without Robert Bean just isnt complete. True badass.
