I think you are romanticizing sports in a way that isn’t very accurate. Unfortunately in a lot of cases what you are describing is completely superficial. I say it is superficial because the feeling doesn’t last and doesn’t go far enough. It only lasts for as long as that player is on your team or it only applies to athletes. Meanwhile too many folks aren’t interested in increasing the education budget, a living wage, police reform, sentencing reform, bail reform . . . You know the things that would actually make our country live up to the ideas that we espouse in our Constitution and Bill of Rights by ensuring ALL Americans are being treated fairly. When the Williams sisters were baby GOATS they were called the N word by members of the crowd. Tiger Woods was being denied the right to play certain courses. As a pro he had the commentator saying he would want fried chicken for his championship dinner. And even today with soccer in many parts of the world fans are throwing bananas at Black players. Just because some White people are willing to give Black athletes their flowers doesn’t make it meaningful. We have quite a ways to go.

Also has a season in 2006 where he was feared so much that his side was only targeted 35 times that season . He only allowed 4 receptions(man to man, not zone) that season with 21 passes deflected. 10 of them being interceptions! Are you insane? Dude was a monster throughout his entire career which was 15 seasons long and by the way was still at a pro bowl level by year 14. He was just a couple years short of retirement before the Broncos won a super bowl. Hard getting there with Jay Cutler beforehand...

Let’s do this: My list: Safeties: Ed Reed (Obvious reasons) Ronnie Lott (Obvious reasons) Ken Houston (Most pro bowls for any safety and also held the record for most touchdown returns until Devin Hester broke it) Emlen Tunnell (Second most interceptions all time and the only one to rack up more than 6 interceptions in 10 straight seasons) Brian Dawkins (I only need to say that Dawkins is the only player in NFL history to have 25 interceptions 25 sacks and 25 forced fumbles. Incredibly versatile and dynamic, taking weapon X over Larry Wilson) Troy Polamalu (I was debating between Troy, Atwater and Jack Christiansen, but I eventually decided that Troy was too good to keep off the list, the Super Bowls, all pros and DPOY are too much to ignore) Cornerbacks: Deion Sanders (obvious reasons) Night Train Lane (obvious reasons) Mel Blount (obvious reasons) Rod Woodson (obvious reasons, could’ve made the safety list too) Champ Bailey (A prime example of a victim of the evolution of passing, teams feared him, best proof is 2006, he was thrown to 35 times and allowed only 4 receptions and got 10 ints which is only 2 away from the all-time record, taking Champ over Green) Charles Woodson (When looking through the list, the most surprising snub to me was Charles Woodson. He is 5th all time in picks with 65 and 2nd all time in pick sixes and accumulated 113 tackles in a season at the age of 38, he was a great player all the way to the end and I’m taking him over Mike Haynes.) Willie Brown: (I nearly replaced Willie with Aeneas Williams, I considered Darrelle Revis as well, but what needs to be remembered about Willie Brown is that he started out in the AFL and he was the only guy who could stop all of those crazy deep passes and deep threats on a consistent basis and kept up being the best in the NFL until Mel Blount came around.) Overall, I thought the original lists were fine, but definitely had some major snubs. Honourable mentions: Jack Christiansen, Steve Atwater, Darrelle Revis and Aeneas Williams. Let me know what you think.

Have to side with the other guy on Deion (No offense prime time, you helped us win a super bowl) he was pure speed wasn't a good tackler or even very good at reading the offense. Statistically a deserving hall of famer but but best all around defensive back? No way, you're closer with Ronnie Lott, Ed Reed, Night Train, if this were a Madden style draft with everybody that ever played in their prime I would take at least 10 DBs before Deion.

The only players in NFL history to be voted to the Pro Bowl in their first 10 seasons in the league were Lawrence Taylor and Mel Renfro, yet the Cowboy's HOF DB is somehow not on this list. It's important to note that Mel was voted to the Pro Bowl at safety AND corner. He also returned kicks, he was the Cowboy's back up running back in his first 2 seasons in the league, and he is the proud owner of 2 Super Bowl rings.

I think you are romanticizing sports in a way that isn’t very accurate. Unfortunately in a lot of cases what you are describing is completely superficial. I say it is superficial because the feeling doesn’t last and doesn’t go far enough. It only lasts for as long as that player is on your team or it only applies to athletes. Meanwhile too many folks aren’t interested in increasing the education budget, a living wage, police reform, sentencing reform, bail reform . . . You know the things that would actually make our country live up to the ideas that we espouse in our Constitution and Bill of Rights by ensuring ALL Americans are being treated fairly. When the Williams sisters were baby GOATS they were called the N word by members of the crowd. Tiger Woods was being denied the right to play certain courses. As a pro he had the commentator saying he would want fried chicken for his championship dinner. And even today with soccer in many parts of the world fans are throwing bananas at Black players. Just because some White people are willing to give Black athletes their flowers doesn’t make it meaningful. We have quite a ways to go.

Also has a season in 2006 where he was feared so much that his side was only targeted 35 times that season . He only allowed 4 receptions(man to man, not zone) that season with 21 passes deflected. 10 of them being interceptions! Are you insane? Dude was a monster throughout his entire career which was 15 seasons long and by the way was still at a pro bowl level by year 14.

Bill with any other player: 😐🙂 Bill with Ed reed: 👁👄👁
I didn’t realize how much I love football til I watched this
Let’s do this: My list: Safeties: Ed Reed (Obvious reasons) Ronnie Lott (Obvious reasons) Ken Houston (Most pro bowls for any safety and also held the record for most touchdown returns until Devin Hester broke it) Emlen Tunnell (Second most interceptions all time and the only one to rack up more than 6 interceptions in 10 straight seasons) Brian Dawkins (I only need to say that Dawkins is the only player in NFL history to have 25 interceptions 25 sacks and 25 forced fumbles. Incredibly versatile and dynamic, taking weapon X over Larry Wilson) Troy Polamalu (I was debating between Troy, Atwater and Jack Christiansen, but I eventually decided that Troy was too good to keep off the list, the Super Bowls, all pros and DPOY are too much to ignore) Cornerbacks: Deion Sanders (obvious reasons) Night Train Lane (obvious reasons) Mel Blount (obvious reasons) Rod Woodson (obvious reasons, could’ve made the safety list too) Champ Bailey (A prime example of a victim of the evolution of passing, teams feared him, best proof is 2006, he was thrown to 35 times and allowed only 4 receptions and got 10 ints which is only 2 away from the all-time record, taking Champ over Green) Charles Woodson (When looking through the list, the most surprising snub to me was Charles Woodson. He is 5th all time in picks with 65 and 2nd all time in pick sixes and accumulated 113 tackles in a season at the age of 38, he was a great player all the way to the end and I’m taking him over Mike Haynes.) Willie Brown: (I nearly replaced Willie with Aeneas Williams, I considered Darrelle Revis as well, but what needs to be remembered about Willie Brown is that he started out in the AFL and he was the only guy who could stop all of those crazy deep passes and deep threats on a consistent basis and kept up being the best in the NFL until Mel Blount came around.) Overall, I thought the original lists were fine, but definitely had some major snubs. Honourable mentions: Jack Christiansen, Steve Atwater, Darrelle Revis and Aeneas Williams. Let me know what you think.
I think this list is awesome. But I'd like to add Rodney Harrison simply because he was so underrated (and disliked). His stats compare very favorably to safeties and he's the all time leader in sacks for a defensive back
Kenny Easley. Also, Troy Polamalu.
Darrell green is necessary on this list
@Lil Curt Rodney was intimidating. Nowadays football, the rules would get Rodney, but back when you could be physical with the receivers, he was great.

Prime Revis Island was the closest defintion of a true 1 on 1 shutdown corner back since Prime Time Sanders, I can't believe him, Dawkins or at least Polamalu aren't on the list.

But Revis is the only CB during his time to literally cover and shut down 1 on 1 HOF wrs all game long..most wrs In their prime..like megatron, moss, Andre Johnson, Fitzgerald, ochocinco, Terrell Owens, anquan boldin, Hines ward, Reggie Wayne
um52 Look up Champ’s ‘06 season and compare with Revis’s best. Champ played significantly better, and yes Revis’ season was phenomenal, but that just goes to speak on how great Champ’s was
@@ImGayWhenISayThisBut came back to this to say revis is still the best
@@jazzyje5ter223 No GM is drafting Revis over Bailey. "I guarantee you that!!" - Tim Tebow
Ronnie Lott is the best defensive back in the history of football. All-pro at all four DB positions at that time. Also won eight division titles and four super bowls with the 49ers. The 1980’s 49ers teams had the best coach, wide receiver, quarterback, and defensive back all at one time. That is incredible.
The Best defensive player ... Lott could have been All-Pro at linebacker, if they had put him there.
Absolutely
Rod Woodson
@@brianwolf6166 not at 205 lbs
Ronnie Lott the most overrated player ever. He couldn't play with the rules Ed Reed played with
This entire series is a football fans dream, fantastic and amazing stories watched every second of it. Appreciate this while there alive, I’m so glad they got so many greats on one table
Ed Reed...best ball hawk I ever saw play.
So we're gonna act like Troy Polamalu doesn't exist, that's why he's not on here
RIGHT?!?! To not even put his name on the list, what were the voters stoned er sumthin'??
Hes still lined up in the C gap
same with Brian Dawkins
@ Kiolah Same here
Paul Krause, Charles Woodson, Troy P., Jack Tatum.....all got screwed
The way Bill Belichick geeks out over Ed Reed is pretty epic
Only other person I've heard Bill talk about like that was LT.
Love that Ed stuck around for film study. Shows his love for the game. One of my favorite players ever-and I’m a saints fan.
You watch these guys & you realize the "dumb athlete" stereotype is pure b.s. To study your opposition, remember your plays & the formations of opponents takes high intellect & to master it the way many hall of famers have takes a genius
If an athlete like Deion says it you know it’s true
It does. It’s crazy.
This is what it takes to be professional caliber for football with respect to the passing game. Raw talent alone just doesn't cut it. This isn't isolation basketball.
Just the mindset and ability to grind like that diet, travel, train, study film and get crushed on the field is insane
its crazy how hyped BB gets about Reeds play against Manning
Its disgusting that dawkins and polumalu both arent on here
swing mill Polumalu he’s close but idk man
EXACTLY ON BOTH OF 'EM!!!
It’s a spit in the face
swing mill Dawkins for sure should be on every top ten list. This is coming from a Cowboys fan.
What about Paul Krause. If I'm not mistaken he is the all time interception leader
Honorable mention to Larry Wilson and Sam Houston's teammate #37 Pat Fischer. Still one of my favorite Redskins of all time. Even made the NFL's 100 toughest players of all time.
Wilson made the list.
Ed Reed and Deion are my top 2 d backs of all time. No doubt.
Ronnie Lott and Deion
@@thegoat164 Na Ed
@@mrsmith7493 Like I said RONNIE LOTT! NFL Films Top 10 Safeties of All Time #1 Ronnie Lott kzhead.info/sun/gtCAd6aXZImca40/bejne.html
@@thegoat164 still taking Ed First.
Woodson was as good as Sanders
Honorable mention should go to Joey Browner of the Vikings. The guy only played about 7 full seasons and was a 6 time Pro Bowler and managed 37 interceptions in that short a span and also managed 17 fumble recoveries and 5 TDs. Member of the HOF all 80's team.
Him and Kenny Easley were my favorite safeties growing up, and I'm a die-hard Saints fanatic!!
Its great to see Belichick so happy to talk football! You can tell why he's so great, He REALLY loves the sport!
Seeing all this classic make you appreciate being able to watch greatness in person
I can listen to Coach and Cris talk football all day long.. Coach always been kinda quiet but to hear him open up and talk football is great.
Champ Bailey, Ed Reed and Deion Sanders are DBs of my childhood
Apparently not because Ed reed is a safety
Sports 311 Ed reed was a safety not cb man
@@jeromec7619 omfg safety is a defensive back position, hence why the play back behind the line of scrimmage
@@Xponesupurbutt I know, it said cb before he edited it
It's kinda annoying how many people don't know db mean CORNER AND SAFETY
Ed Reed is all you need
Love this vid .... so much respect for history. Big ups to those guys .
They'll never another Ed Reed You pray to have a Safety half as good as him
You play like Ed Reed or you ain’t no safety.
Ed Reed and Deion Sanders my 2 all time favorite DBs this is GOOD too me
Troy polamalu biggest snub of the whole entire list - most underrated player of all time!
I loved Troy as well. Definite snub. Too close to Ed. Ed was better. Troys coat is gold so can't really say underrated.
@@kimmykimkim221 Ed was better in coverage for defense but everywhere else TROY is better.
Shannon Sharpe, Adrian Peterson.
@@Tik.iwell coverage is like the #1 job of the secondary lmao.
That punt return where Ed Reed knocks that guy out, calls him a Fuckboi, combined with Ray Lewis going crazy on the sidelines is pure gold!
I remember being at that Monday night game against the Rams. Our seats were in the endzone and Eric Dickerson was running away from us. Watching Green run him down was amazing.
Troy POLAMALU 👑
Greatest defensive back in NFL history Deion Sanders number 21 of Atlanta Falcons from 1989 to 1993 era
No way. Guy tackled like my grandmother. Maybe the best cover corner but definitely not the best all around. Night Train Lane or Mel Blount take that honor. Mike Haynes is definitely top 5 all time as well
Jeremy Thompson greatest safety in NFL history Ronnie Lott from 1981 through 1993 era
@@jefferyrobertson7520 Now that I'll agree with. Have to side with the other guy on Deion (No offense prime time, you helped us win a super bowl) he was pure speed wasn't a good tackler or even very good at reading the offense. Statistically a deserving hall of famer but but best all around defensive back? No way, you're closer with Ronnie Lott, Ed Reed, Night Train, if this were a Madden style draft with everybody that ever played in their prime I would take at least 10 DBs before Deion.
Brian Harper so I'm old school NFL from 1970 to 1993 era
@@jefferyrobertson7520 So.... You stopped watching in 1994? I missed the 70s though I've watched much film... Niners since 84, age 4
Can you imagine bring in a room with football greats who see the game the same way..this conversation could go on for years great stuff
Anyone who says Troy is better than Ed is a Steelers fan. Ed Reed is THE best safety ever. And it's not close
And he's just a way better player. Better punt blocker (though both are great), amazing returner, amazing special teams blocker. Just amazing at literally everything. And a huge hitter. Something he doesn't get enough credit for
No it's Ronnie Lott. Donnie Shields is the most underrated and disrespected.
Anyone saying Ed reed is better than Lott or Atwater is a ravens fan
ed never made somenof the plays troy has made and vice versa
In my humble opinion, he is the best but it definitely is close between him, Ronnie Lott, and John Lynch. That's just me tho
The only players in NFL history to be voted to the Pro Bowl in their first 10 seasons in the league were Lawrence Taylor and Mel Renfro, yet the Cowboy's HOF DB is somehow not on this list. It's important to note that Mel was voted to the Pro Bowl at safety AND corner. He also returned kicks, he was the Cowboy's back up running back in his first 2 seasons in the league, and he is the proud owner of 2 Super Bowl rings.
A guy some young guys never saw play was Mike Haynes. Same high school as Andy Reid and Leonardo Dicaprio. Hell of a player.
Awesome video from the greats. No doubt about it. From clean picks to nasty hits.
I watched Coach Prime in high school, god he was fun to watch. He brought college eyes to southwest Florida
I do agree with comments saying Troy should be in this list too... Definitely was a game changer
This list is not complete without Troy Polamalu
Fr they add all these guys from 50s and 40s but leave out Troy
@@johnpauldriskill8737so disrespectful. nobody played like troy
Yes it is.
Thanks for all the great memories.
This is Great 😊. Bring back so many good memories.
Every time I think about it, I am more convinced that Rod Wodsoon was the greatest DB of all time. He was nearly as a fast as DG, could cover almost as well as deion, and hit exceptionally hard. Dude was complete.
Rod is THAT DUDE...Everytime someone says Deion, I just tell them to compare the stats.. Most won't like to admit it but Rod is the better football player and DB
@@mikkelharvell1602 Rod was easily the more complete player. Deion was slightly better in coverage though, even before Rod's knee was hurt.
Rod was the better overall defensive player. Deion was slightly better in coverage, and brought an additional dimension with his return game.
RONDE BARBER was on my favorite team buccaneers and he's one of my favorite DB's of all time!! 💪💪 Tackles:1251 Sacks:28 PD:197 Int:47 FF:15 TD:14
Can't even imagine Reed being told by most likely his own hero, he's the best at their same respective job. Crazy.
"You're the best safety out of all of us" - Ronnie Lott "...you got 9 fingers" - Ed Reed lololol
No Jack Tatum? The man completely dominated his era you can be mad that he knocked one of your favorite players in a game but you gotta respect the man
9:47 ray Lewis freaking out in the background
Super fascinating to hear them discuss layers that most fans aren't even aware of. The Mind Game and chess match that goes on underneath everyplay like between Manning and Ed Reed
Ummm where is Paul Krause he has the most interceptions ever And where is Brian Dawkins
Seriously! How does the all time leader in INTs with 81 not on this list? He doesn't have as many tackles but that is because of the great Minnesota D-line "The Purple People Eaters." They kept him out of the box because they had one of the best defensive fronts of all time. All he did was intercept passes, he needs to be on the list, without him it isn't a real list!
Exactly!
@@PeterKKraus The same reason that Alan Page got 20 seconds of discussion and at the end of the segment: If you played for the Vikes apparently you don't count. I don't know if I can bear to see how they minimize or outright ignore Tarkenton.
@@tomcat4841 I root for the Pats. From 1968 - 1994 The Rams were my team. Growing up in the 60's and 70's I had a Vikings helmet , my parents couldn't find a Rams, and that helmet was my 2nd choice. Of course I pretended to be Paul Krause lol.
Where is Jack Tatum?
Ed Reed is the master 💪🏿💪🏿
Having Belichick do the show is great!!!!
I’m about 70% sure Bill Belicheck could have been convinced to trade Tom Brady for Ed Reed 😂 😂😂
Ed Reed looks so old, I remember watching him and Ray destroying EVERYONE!! I can’t believe how long it’s been since he’s played
How can you leave out Champ Bailey? He belongs on this list!
I'm sure if they had just ten corners he would be in there. But they wanted a nice round number like 100 so the number of positions got cut.
Zage13 not to mention they included players that no one has ever even heard of on this list
@@PatrickGeorge97 maybe because the team covers ALL eras
Y’all missing some of the best Paul Krause Troy Polumalu Brian Dawkins Just mentioning some even Champ Bailey and Sean Taylor should be at least on some memorable mention list
Sean Taylor
Redturtle234XD ! You hit it right on the head
I agree with Krause, but the others, NAHHH!!
Bill belichick has seen all of these players with his own eyes.. he coached Lawrence Taylor.. list legit
$upa Black nah Champ deserves to be on there. Check his accomplishments/records as a DB. Especially that 06 season. The best season ever by a Corner
Huge Hurricanes fan here. I remember that Ed Reed record INT return vs the Browns. I was jumping up n down lol
Can't believe I forgot about some of these players despite growing up watching them. That Darrell Greens play was something special.
Wtf happened with the NFL's profile picture?
It’s supposed to be a present
It was caught filming the Bengals and was deleted.

goodness me, when Ed said 'SUP BOIII' i started shadowboxing in my bedroom lol, this is such a great show and the fact that they got the biggest football nerd in history/GOAT coach to do it cements it as maybe the best thing NFL Films has ever done
Six Safeties chosen were Era related. 50's> JChristianson, ETunnell. 60's> LWilson. 70's> KHouston. 80's-90's> RLott. Post 2000> EReed over TroyP. No whining. Let it be.
Exactly lol. It's called 100 for a reason. Spanning across history.
Wasn’t Lott a corner? Didn’t know he played safety
@@jajohnson8422 He played Free Safety
Ed Reed better than TP facts
Then the NFL shouldn’t have called this list top 100 of all time
...this man had casts on BOTH hands and got a pic
Keep in mind, that was an era of sports where if you could dribble a basketball between your legs and do a layup with your opposite hand you prolly could have been in the nba...
@@PatrickGeorge97 I don't care what era it was. Getting a pick with both your hands in casts is impressive. Hell just playing a damn game with both your hands in casts is impressive.

Charles Woodson.
Bill was like “would you stfu and let me sing?!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
This man belichick knows the entire history of football and it’s players
Deion Sanders vs Tyreek Hill would have been such a electrifying 1v1 if they played at the same time periods
sanders would have locked him up. Sanders locked Rice up, who is much better then Tyreek Hill
Pretty sure he'd make Tyreek disappear.
“Coordinators Just use the guys like checkers.” I read a piece on bleacher report about Richard Sherman and he said the same thing. Assuming he learned it from prime. But that’s what the greats do-master the mental and their physical gifts do the rest.
Let's you know there are levels to this. Instead of using the talents of what's available and maximizing potential etc coaches want cookie cut options. Makes you think how'd they even get those jobs in the first place? How they keep them. How they get rehired?
It's cool hearing/seeing Belichick in this setting where he can let his guard down a little bit and just nerd out and show his knowledge and love of the game
Top notch list, every guy is well deserved.
9:48-9:51 *BOOM* Ed reed: SUP BOI
Chris Collinsworth had me so lost on Ed Reed's greatest interception
Shadow Owsley if you want to see coach belichek talk about the play there’s a nfl films video about just Ed Reed and Troy Polumolu. Just type in “ Ed reed and Troy Polumolu” on KZhead
Belichick loves his defense. I like seeing this side of him...
the "fuckboy" hit on the colts is my favorite NFL bit , ever. Glad they included that in its unedited state
"Wassup boy".
