Hard to argue with this list. I'm really glad to see Eric Martin's name up there. He was my favorite on all of those late 80's/early 90's teams. Not fast, not flashy. He just came to work with his game face on every day. Throw the kitchen sink at him, and he would catch it, too.

Wide Receivers > Wrong (Danny Abramowicz, Wes Chandler)
Athlete > WTF, you, yeah you, go line up at athlete?!? Defensive Line > Wrong (LaRoi Glover, Derland Moore) Returner > Wrong (Bush has had more success) |

Abramowicz? Not great. Interesting but not great. Athlete WTF? Really. I don't think anyone would argue there. Returner? Bush? LOL. Floydd Turner was better than Bush has been. DL? Glover & Moore. I guess everybody can't make the list but certainly 2nd team. |

We'll probably see both Colston and Porter on that list in 5 years. Might have Jenkins, Graham and Nicks also. Vilma is a great LB but I don't know if he'll ever get mentioned among those 4 guys.
I don't have a lot to argue about on that list right now. |

It's impossible to crack the linebacker list with this franchise but Vilma would be 2nd team starter
