We've had a lot of great corners, but he might just be the best we've had
Give it to me Roscoe!
Well deserved honor. Congrats!
The only discussion needed is what took so long?
Top 6 corners since 2000:
1. DeAngelo
2. Jimmy Williams
3. Brandon Flowers
4. Kendall Fuller
5. Jayron Hosley
6. Kyler Fuller
fight me on it idc
Kyle fuller wasn't as good at corner as everyone else on that list, but i think he was the most versatile player Ive watched since becoming a fan (2008). Really felt like he could play ever position in the secondary, and could basically play line backer.
My hot take: If Kyle fuller stayed healthy, we go 11-1 in 2013.
That's why he's below all of them
Injuries?
he's 6th on the list because he wasn't as good of a corner as 1-5 on the list
you really need to GTFO with your logic and reasoning, sir

I mean, I would argue that though he wasn't as good of a cover corner as any of those players, he was more valuable/important to the defense. But that's different I suppose.
thank you
My memories of flowers don't put him third, he whiffed going for the big hit to many times. I'd take Hosley and Kendell over him.
The low key take is Faycson, he leads VT in career pass break ups. If he didn't get injured he'd be a lot higher on the list, but also not lead VT in break ups cause he would have gone to NFL earlier.
Flowers' big plays make up for the few whiffs. Kam, Kyle, and Macho had their share of those too.
The Facyson take is correct. If he didn't get injured so much he'd be top 5, but most of his elite production came his freshman year.
Brandon Flowers is the best "cover" corner on that list. No one else on that list, even though some are more athletic, could cover like he did.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only guy on here who has some not so good memories of Jimmy Williams
I remember his dumbassery costing us almost as often as his talent helped us
Take a Jimmy Jack in place of a leg, sir
You and me and Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Go Creek!
