Kansas City always seemed to have talented safeties even when they didn't have that solid of a team.

A couple of teams to "add to the conversation"....The Eagles have had a few good ones -- Eric Allen, Brian Dawkins, Andre Waters. The Raiders of course had Lester Hayes and Mike Haynes, probably the best corner duo ever, Willie Brown was fantastic....they had Dave Grayson for a while...Charles Woodson had great years with the Raiders....

I think I saw somewhere (might even been on Pro Football Reference) that his nickname was "Dirty."

Larry Wilson was Mr. Cardinal, but its interesting how many of those DBs the Cardinals would end up getting rid of and then seeing the player continue to be productive for another team.

Washington late 60's to late 70's was a decent run. It fizzled out after DG
Sample and Krause were the earliest I could think of but they played mainly elsewhere

Pat Fischer
Mike Bass
Brig Owens
Ken Houston
Jake Scott 6 with Mia 3 with Wash
Lemar Parrish 8 with Cin 4 with Wash
Joe Lavender
Darrell Green
Champ Bailey Den 10 years, Wash 5
Sean Taylor
