Lanier is a reasonable choice.
That ‘69 defense was sick. With 2 HoFers at every level.
Bobby Bell
Buck Buchanan
Curly Culp
Willie Lanier
Johnny Robinson
Emmitt Thomas
Three other players made the pro-bowl or were second-team All Pro that year:
Jim Lynch
Jerry Mays
Jim Marcellus
Only two starters never received any post season accolades, but both had very solid careers:
Aaron Brown
Jim Kearney
