GCMB Poll: Who was best of the best Gator cornerbacks?

[GR8 2B]

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

It seemed clear to me by the end 2015 season that Quincy Wilson was better than both Tabor and Hargreaves. Having said that, I think Lito tops the list, with Janoris second.

Who is Joe Hayden?

You had to wait that long to point that out? Now it's closed to edits.

I fixed Haden's name.

As punishment I added Kyle Jackson.

How about these fellas:

A year ago, Florida cornerbacks Marcus Roberson and Loucheiz Purifoy were touted as potential first-round NFL Draft prospects, but even after 35 cornerbacks heard their name called over the three-day event, Roberson and Purifoy did not.

Purifoy was probably the most overrated corner i can remember. The commentators always talked like he was some freak athlete that was destined to be a 1st round pick. He got abused every Saturday and I never really noticed any freak athleticism.

I would vote for Shepard, but should Steve Tannen be on the ballot?

Yep, that had to really disappointing for those two.
Roberson's still in the NFL (Rams, then Bills in late 2016).
Purifoy now plays for the BC Lions - this makes sense as the bud in BC is pretty good. After the Colts, he was with the Seahawks prior to BC - I think he likes the NW 'attitude'.

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..............

Any player who gets fooled by the mad hatter on a fake FG, when everyone in the stadium knows the kicker is outside of his FG range, had more than just a "little" medication... It cost us the game, so he doesn't deserve a vote.

No breakdown or analysis from me, I just voted Lito primarily for his games against uga, ut, and carolina in 2000. He made some game changing plays that got us to ATL

Lito! Lito! Lito!

I took my daughter to that UGA game Lito made the great int and return. He was amazing.

I think I would've picked Larry Kennedy if he'd been a selection. He was the best I'd ever seen in man-to-man coverage.
