Because he wasn't the all around player Woodson and Champ were, Bly so often gets overlooked in that same era.  He might be the best cover corner since Buckley.

I voted for Bly.  He was indeed in that best cover corner conversation.   When I think #31, I think of K Tim Lashar at OU for about 57 years.

Kudos for including Bly.  One of those guys I had forgotten about but he was a terrific college corner.

I loved Aaron Ross at Texas, but he was no Dre Bly.  Glad you included him OAM, he gets my vote, too.

I'm sure he was great and all, but I didn't see him play.  I did see Posluzsny in college, and dude was a machine.  I expect them to split votes.

 I will write in Ronnie Harmon. He was #31. These other guys I am unfamiliar with.

If you had a category for worst ever players in the Rose Bowl. Harmon would top that list.
