Cornerback (6):

  • CB1: Deion Sanders
  • CB2: Rolland Lawrence
  • CB3: Brent Grimes
  • CB4: DeAngelo Hall
  • CB5: Bobby Butler
  • CB6: Ray Buchanon

This team sports the greatest cornerback to ever play football with Deion Sanders. If you want playmakers in the secondary then these former Atlanta Falcons are here for you. Sanders could take anything to the house, and Rolland Lawrence has the most interceptions in franchise history.

Brent Grimes was straight-up dominant during his prime with the Falcons and Dolphins. You may remember his ridiculous one-handed interception with the Dolphins.

DeAngelo Hall was great during his short tenure in Atlanta, and, once again, was a playmaker. Finally, we have Bobby Butler and Ray Buchanon to close out the position. You could also throw Desmond Trufant into the mix as well.
