Can't even read the name Lester Hayes without thinking of stuttering and "stickum"

Mike Haynes and Herb Adderley both make the list twice. Pretty cool.

7. Hanford Dixon and Frank Minnifield, Cleveland, 1986-1988. These two had a shorter peak than many other cornerbacks on the list, but for a three year stretch were the best in the game. Dixon was an all-pro in 1986-87, and Minnifield in 1988, as the Browns reached consecutive AFC Championship games.

 

I miss those days, I was young as fuck but I remember those two tearing it up.

Exactly the first thing that came to my mind...I'd even go as far as Dale Carter and James Hasty.

Kind of disappointed Madison/Surtain aren't on either list. Perhaps they weren't as good as I thought I remembered. I was younger and didn't really follow the game that close.

Very memorable tandems from my time of watching football. Those were both excellent combos.

I know the Patrick Surtain/Ty Law tandem didn't live up to my expectations.

I think they were both a little past their prime at that point, if I recall correctly.

They were, but I was one of those fans who wanted Ty Law to play opposite Surtain...back when I still believed Sammy Knight was still good enough to start...
