  2. Roy Williams doesnt miss

  3. I would have to say either Bob Sanders went to University of Iowa, now plays for Indianapolis Colts, or the late Taylor (RIP) from the Redskins.

  4. Junior Seau (especially back in his younger days with the Chargers)

  5. Im biased, so I'll say Ronnie Lott. Also hardest hitting too!

    In his first season, he recorded seven interceptions, helped the 49ers to win Super Bowl XVI, and also became only the second rookie in NFL history to return three interceptions for touchdowns.

    Lott switched to the safety position in 1985. He cut the tip of his left pinky finger off after the 1985 season, when it was crushed tackling RB Timmy Newsome. He did so in order to continue playing football without risking further injury to the damaged finger. A 1986 injury sidelined him for the season's last two games, but he still led the league with a career-best 10 interceptions while recording 77 tackles, three forced fumbles, and two quarterback sacks. In his ten years with the 49ers, he helped them to win eight division titles and four Super Bowls: XVI (1981 season), XIX (1984), XXIII (1988), and XXIV (1989). He is one of five players to play for the 49ers on all four of their Super Bowl wins during the 1980's. The other four are QB Joe Montana, LB Keena Turner, CB Eric Wright, and WR Mike Wilson.

    In his 14 seasons, Lott recorded 8.5 sacks and 63 interceptions, which he returned for 730 yards and five touchdowns. He recovered 17 fumbles, returned them for 43 yards, and gained 113 yards on kickoff returns. Lott also played in 20 postseason games, recording nine interceptions, 89 tackles, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and two touchdowns. He was also named All-Pro eight times, All-NFC six times, and All-AFC once.


  6. Ray Lewis. Pretty good considering it usually is a safety that is your best open field tackler.

  7. Ray Lewis or Sean Taylor(RIP).

  8. RAY LEWIS by far no comparison he is a beast
