easy choice - Nate didn't bother with classes, concentrated on football

some fans still don't like it

was a great safety, but might have been an even better LB

in the Eagle's opinion

5 listed.... Mike Brown, Mike Minter, Toby Wright, and Eric Warfield would be ahead of all of them.  I'd take Tony Veland over Gerry but I could see an argument for Gerry.  Gerry was a better center fielder and faster.  Veland could cover better.   I'd pick veland in run support.  I recall several really bad angles by Gerry.

Lot of fans thought he'd be a better LB... maybe.  He just never came across to me as someone who liked be at the LOS.   He had the size/body to be a hell of an OLB.
