I voted for Lito just because I had to pick someone but I think Sheppard, Jenkins and Haden were all as dominant albeit different type of corners.

Lito always seemed to step up and make a play right when the Gators needed it. He was a true clutch performer.

Arguments can be made for so many great CBs to wear the orange and blue. I went with Haden because I had more confidence in him than any other corner I can recall.

I'd put both Weary and Smith on a list before Tabor. What has Tabor done really?

Smith no, Weary yes. I've added Weary, whom I simply overlooked. Good catch.

I remember watching Janoris out there as a freshman (on a very talented team) thinking "this guy is the best football player out there. His skills were perfect and could tackle like a truck. I never had a problem with his medication cause I figured a guy out there busting ass and hitting people that hard needed a little medication..............

Yep. Zaven Yaralian evidently liked him all over the field.
Well it doesn't matter if Jarvis gets moved to the Safety poll. We all know Kyle Jackson will win hands down. :whistle:

Edit: Hands down, get it. Like alligator arms.

I voted for Lito. Too bad he was coached by Hoke the Joke during Spurrier's last 3 seasons.

Jarvis was a corner at UF, a safety with the Dolphins (yes, playing next to Louis Oliver).

Fred Weary underrated.

Jimmy Spencer was just a little track guy who played corner maybe one season (opposite Richard Fain who was supposed to be a stud) and got drafted strictly based on his 40 time. He doesn't belong in this poll (didn't do much here at UF) but he went on to have a long and stellar pro career.

Haden was an athlete first. His freshman year he stunk. He could run close to any receiver but had zero ball skills or awareness. He and Wondy were the same. The difference is Haden made that leap and became a great cover corner. Janoris came to UF as a corner. He already had ball skills and was good even as a true freshman. I guess he and Hargreaves were the best true freshmen corners I've seen play here.

It's hard to pick one guy. Lito was also a great kick returner for us so I'll use that as my tie breaker. Lito is the best.

Quincy Wilson belongs on the ballot. He was better than tabor or Hargreaves. Wilson is my pick.

I knew you weren't over 15 years old.
Lol. Wilson played in a very boring era of Florida football and didn't have alot of highlight reel interception returns but that dude didnt give up anything.
