Willie Brown was considered one of the best, if not the best, corner in his generation. He had good size (6-foot-1, 195 pounds) and was outstanding in coverage. He was also an integral part of the Raiders' lone AFL championship team and of their first Super Bowl winning team. His current counterpart, Nnamdi Asomugha, also has great size (6-2, 210) and coverage ability. He has yet to carry the Raiders to a winning season, but he is considered one of the best corners in the league.
