LT doesn't deserve to be on this list, nor do OJ or Darrell Green.
Drugs Thugs and Disharmony have no place on the list of top players.
Darrell Green? This Darrell Green? Founder of the Youth LIfe Foundation, Chairman of the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation, and member of various boards, including the NFL/NFLPA September 11th Relief Fund.
My bad, I was actually thinking of Daryll Strawberry! *Slap* 
Yeah, I was going to give you a slap, too! I don't think he's on the top five of all players, but he was certainly one of the best corners of his era, and a fantastic off-the-field man.
One of my favorite memories of him was in his first season, the Cowboys were deep in their own territory (like inside the 5), and Tony Dorsett broke free on the left sideline, full speed for the Skins endzone. Darrell Green was playing corner on the opposite side; he comes from behind, all the way on the other side of the field, and chases Dorsett down, catching him at about the Skins' 5 or so, saving the touchdown. That's when we knew this was a special player!

The most impressive thing I have ever heard about Darrell Green is that he ran the 40 yard dash in 4.2 seconds at the age of 40. Do know how many current NFL corners would kill for that kind of speed? Maybe a better question would be: Are there any current NFL corners with 4.2 speed?

Yeah, but he wasn't nearly as impressive at 44 years old: 4.36 according to his website.  He ran a 4.15 as a young player. He also ran a 44.3 second 400-meter dash, 20.5 second 200-meter dash, 10.08 second 100-meter dash as a young player.
