In 12 seasons in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars, safety Carnell Lake had quite the career.
Lake, who was selected in the second round of the 1989 NFL Draft out of UCLA, earned four All-Pro accolades (one first team, three second teams) and five trips to the Pro Bowl. Lake also finished seventh in NFL MVP voting in 1997 and was fifth in Defensive Player of the Year voting that year as well.
Despite the individual accolades during his career, Lake remains rather underrated historically. Former teammate and fellow defensive back Rod Woodson attempted to change that during Monday’s appearance on the All Things Covered podcast with former Steelers cornerback Bryant McFadden and current cornerback Patrick Peterson.
