Best Cornerback in the NFC North
Who's the best cornerback in the NFC North? I got this idea from the topic about the best corner in the NFC East. The top 3 I'd say are Al Harris, Dre Bly, and Antoine Winfield, but who do you think is the best?

I went with Al Harris. I loved him when he was an Eagles. I remember we got a 2nd rounder for him, too bad we used it to trade up for Jerome McDougle.
Harris was a monster in Philly. I always called him "He Flag Me" because he got called for so many pass interference calls in Philly, like Rod Smart's XFL name. I once photoshopped a picture of penalty flags as his dreadlocks but that was a long, long time ago.

I voted for him too, but because of how he played last season. He's also got excellent size at 6'1. Sadly we've let a lot of cool corners slip through our fingers. Al Harris, Bobby Taylor, Troy Vincent.

Taylor signed a 3 year contract with Seattle and im pretty sure he was cut after one year. He isnt on a team now. The guy could cover anyone, but he SUCKED at tackling. I mean he was horrible.
Vincent was losing a step and was moved to safety when he signed with Buffalo.
Both of these guys were let go to make room for Lito and Sheldon, so I dont care.

He passed the skill of getting a lot of penalties on to Ahmad Carrol

I liked them, but we did get rid of them at the right time. Bobby was never nasty enough to be a great tackler, Troy is a decently solid safety, even though their skills were declining I liked them both and was sad to see them go.

Hmmm... this is hard for me. Besides Winfield, I'd say Dre Bly.

you know players say things about other players to be nice right? Just like coaches last year when they would be like the Texans, they would say "that was a great team you just beat out there." Yea thats why they went 2-14.
No way in hell is Harris even in the top 10 CBs in the NFL imo.

and given that chad johnson faced every cornerback in the nfl last year, his opinion is absolutely a GREAT measuring stick to use here.

I went with Winfield. I've though Harris and Bly were overrated for a while.

As a Lafayette, Louisiana Lafayette native and Ragin Cajun fan forever, I gotta say Charles Tillman.
However, as a football fan in general, Al Harris.

In what way shape or form is Harris overrated? You must mean he underrated.
