A. Woodson, D. Grayson, B. Boyd, C. Green, B. Byrd for HOVG

[bachslunch]

Five CBs (some also played safety) not in, with honors:

Abe Woodson (5/5/none)
Dave Grayson (6/6/allAFL)
Bobby Boyd (4/2/60s)
Cornell Green (4/5/none)
Butch Byrd (5/5/allAFL)

Woodson, Grayson, and Byrd also returned kicks, with Woodson being world-class at it.

Should mention that while many likely consider Woodson's strong suit to be kick returning, he also apparently was an excellent cover cornerback. Or at least so says Ray Berry, where he lists Woodson, Irv Cross, Dick LeBeau, Dick Lynch, and Jesse Whittenton among the opposing players he respected the most, calling them formidable man-to-man corners.

What we are seeing from these multiple posts is that there are many "Very Good" players out there who deserve recognition.
It is hard to find fault with most of the suggestions.

I guess my personal preference for this one is:
1. Woodson
2. Green
3. Boyd
4. Grayson
5. Byrd
