Honerable mention for the worse as we'll lawrence phillips

Drakeford game me many nightmares for his blown coverages against Dallas (Alvin Harper) and Green Bay (Brooks, Bebe, and co.) in those playoff losses.

I did always like Tim Mcdonald. He was a favorite of mine. Great pickup off the Tardinals.

Tim mcdonald was the man, him along wit merton hanks! Yeah tyrone wasn't probowl caliber but I woulda liked to have kept em as a nickle back. He did fairly well wit the saints I believe that's who got em, when he left.

Tim was one of my favorites. It would be a trip to land T.J next year.

How is Brian Jennings not get a mentioned. Biggest role player for years. Can't be much more of a role player than a long snapper. Not a lot of people know it but he's a killer TE.

LOL @ everybody just throwing out names of players they feel are forgotten or just weren't superstars. Nobody knows what a role player is.

No matter the situation, that's always perfectly acceptable.

What about my namesake? Not in his starting position, but in the majestic Elephant package. That was always fun to watch!

You mean, Dexter Carter wasn't a role player?
