From a pure statistics standpoint, we saw some historically bad defenses this decade. As you can imagine, that made it pretty difficult to come up with a list of five without over-stretching. Luckily, the top three were no-brainers. The last two spots, though,... eehhHhhHHhHHHHhHhh. I struggled. I chose to go by career production and stats which was unfair to guys like Bruce Jones, who only played for two years. Jones didn’t have the stats to land him on the list, but that’s because folks learned not to throw the ball his direction.
While the defenses were pretty bad this decade, I think the players on this list all deserve a lot of respect and credit for what they did with their careers.
