Really ? Micheal Irvin said he was the most physical corner he ever went up against. Irvin also pointed out that the best WRs of his era would not try to be physical with Deon because they knew Deon would win. Deon might not of been a hitter, but that wasn't his game. All Deon had to do was line up , and he pretty much shut down one side of the field, that's how he intimidated the other team..and it worked. I don't know about you , but I will take the mental intimidation that Deon imposed on teams, over the physical intimidation that a guy like Hasty, or Woodson, imposed on teams any day.
