    Are you saying you would put him on your  "Traditional Black College"  All Time Team ?    Floriday A&M product.

    I could give 2 man tits if Mr.Riley was orange😉.. said nothing of the sort but, A small school classic corner is more like it...

    Until Tom Brady goes in..?   1951 Jack Chrstiansen DB Detroit Lions... is the only 6th round pick in the HOF..period!

    per link.."Ken Riley is the only player ranking among the nfl top 5 in career* interceptions not* in the HOF with 65 picks"

    Revis should get in? but the closest DB steals from small school venues, i could maybe see getting in also? Sea.-11th rd pick Dwayne Harper///5th rd. pick Rodney Harrison(is he not a candidate for hof or in?) ///and Mia. 7th rd. pick Jake Scott

    Charles Woodson should at least be listed here if not the pick

    Not a bad choice.  I think I would take Rod over Charles when it comes to the Woodson's....but yes, very close.
