And take Polamalu out. I can see Donald in the top ten. I'd have a hard time putting Von in the top twenty. Way too many edge rushers who had really comparable careers. Like, can you say that he's definitely better than Julius Peppers, Jason Taylor, Dwight Freeney, Chris Doleman, T-Sizzle, Richard Dent, Derrick Thomas, and Jared Allen? His prime years were truly elite, but he didn't have enough of them. Never won a DPOY, and he didn't have enough first team All Pro selections. It's too bad we didn't get Ware a couple years earlier, his influence on Von can't be underestimated.
