I went with:
#1 - Albert Lewis. If you've ever enjoyed a blocked punt, Albert Lewis is your favorite player. Plus, he could play a little cornerback.
#2 - Kevin Ross. Or Marvin Hagler, whichever. He personified the Chiefs defense even more than DT in my eyes. He was unyielding.
#3 - Dale Carter. Okay, he had some issues off the field, but you couldn't deny the guy's grace on the field. He made things look easy. Plus, he was tougher than people think, playing injured when necessary.
I feel terrible that Lloyd Burruss didn't make my top three. Along with Brandon Flowers, Lloyd was perhaps the best pure tackler I've ever seen. You didn't get by Lloyd Burruss.
Benny Sapp may not have been a star, but I also found him entertaining and rooted for him. I hated to see him leave the Chiefs.
Whatever happened with Corey Harris? He seemed promising, but then he was gone.
