an outstanding defensive player before the 2005 class and after Derrick Thomas who lived up to expectations in the NFL? the latest McCants news got me to thinking about this issue.

Easy, first one that comes to mind is DeShea Townsend. Teague is another. Pep has done a good job, Moorehead is staring to make his waves, Griffin has shown his talent, and Fernando Bryant has done well.

That's just off the top of my head.

Off the 1992 team, George Teague and Antonio Langham both were significant NFL players, and Fernando Bryant has been around a good while. There are several others, but none that had the upside of McCants.

McCants had freakish physical ability, but was not sound on technique, so he fizzled in the NFL.

Cornelius Griffin

Rudd did alright for himself.

Jarret Johnson has done okay, not great, but okay.

Cornelius Griffin

He was before Thomas.

He was before Thomas.

Cornelius "Biscuit" Bennett was but
Cornelius Griffin was on the 99 team.

Crap. My bad. I just saw Cornelius.

I think Rudd probably outperformed expectations. He played a number of years as a first-string linebacker in the NFL, most notably for the Vikings.

Antwan Odom has also done a good job. I believe he got a pretty good sized FA contract this offseason.

I will always remember the helmet incident though.

Demeco Ryans

I think Mark Anderson has done pretty well, too.

He did say before 2005.

I would add:

Sam Shade
Lemanski Hall
Michael Myers
