    I think Trufant gets unjustly dismissed. He was CB1 when both him and Peters were on the roster and was easily better when he left. Peters probably was better after, though it's arguable, but was an asshole and did nothing but shit on UW and oiss away his last season. Fuck him.

    Am I crazy to think he is the best corner in uw history, dude has been crazy consistent even as freshman. Dude just does not panic
    That's really tough. I wouldn't put him there yet but I'd be surprised if, after this season, most of us don't put him right there.

    Just going back to Trufant and trying to rank them is almost impossible for me. Let's see how stupid this looks:

    1. Syd Jones
    2. TruFant
    3. Peters
    4. Murphy
    5. Kevin King
    6. Keith Taylor
    7. Jordan Miller
    8. Greg Ducre
    9. Nate Robinson - was as good as any first year starting corner Washington has marched onto the field. Too bad basketball was his passion...

    Totally subjective nonsense, but I remember hearing Trufant's name the least his senior year compared to any of our other CBs this last decade. I'll always associate him as the face of the transition of our program from the Charmin-soft defenses of 2011 and prior into the new defense-first identity we've had ever since. God bless Tru.

    Pete pissed away his last season.

    Ross at corner. King at Safety. Shaq is running over teams but naw gotta put him at lb with Azeem and Bierria on the roster. lol

    Until he got hurt, Derrick Johnson was really really good. Definitely not at the Marcus Peters level. But it would have been fun to watch Johnson achieve, if healthy.

    I loved DJ (ILTCHDJ).

    We had some decent corners in the in dark years. Roc Alexander, Omare Lowe, even Roy Lewis.

    They weren't #DBU level corners but fun to watch in their owen ways.

    Has another UW CB ever landed on the cover of SI besides Roc Alexander?




    (At least I am pretty sure that’s him getting torched)
