You can't really get ready for the season without a good side-helping of nostalgia. So we're polling our staff to make top five lists for each position group as part of Preseason Conditioning. Today, we asked about the defensive backs.
Honorable mention
Our staff gave respectful nods to three players who didn't make our top five. Ty Zimmerman received quite a few votes, but they were all in the number five position. Your Benevolent Despot listed Mario Smith, who used to hit guys so hard some of them still hurt now. And while nobody actually voted for Jon McGraw, his name came up.
