Peanut Tillman Salty At Latest NFL Rankings of Best All-Time Corners

Former Bears cornerback Charles Tillman is not a happy man right now. Okay that's laying it on a little thick. All signs show the man is enjoying his retirement. It's more accurate to say he's a little bit perplexed and annoyed. Always a man to stay active on social media, particularly Twitter, he knows what's going on around the football landscape. That's why it no doubt interest him when former pro scout and current NFL analyst Gil Brandt released his rankings of the 31 best cornerbacks ever. There were obvious inclusions such as Deion Sanders, Charles Woodson, Dick "Night Train" Lane and Mel Blount among others. There is just no way to argue against them No what no doubt irked Peanut wasn't who was on the list, but more who wasn't on it. Namely himself. He didn't come right out and say it, but he made it known with a simple tweet that he was more than a little confused.

Not having Charles Tillman on that list is a joke

Truth is he has every reason to be angry. If it were just the top 10 names on that list then it would be a different thing. However, just one look at those occupying the bottom half of the list and it becomes laughable. Eric Wright? Antoine Winfield? Malcolm Butler? With all due respect to those men, they don't touch the individual accomplishments of Tillman.

Wright

• 18 INTs
• 2 defensive TDs

Winfield

• 27 INTs
• 4 defensive TDs

Butler

• 6 INTs
• 0 defensive TDs

Tillman

• 38 INTs
• 9 defensive TDs

Tillman blows each of those men out of the water in head-to-head comparisons. So why are they on the list while he's left out in the cold? For Wright and Butler it's the fact they played on great teams and have lots of Super Bowl rings. Winfield? He might be the worst inclusion. He has worse numbers than Peanut and no ring to counterbalance the argument. All in all it's a bad list that shows a lot of favoritism to guys who have not or never did earn it. Not like Tillman did.
