Close to essential
S Antoine Bethea — The underrated glue of a secondary that does well limiting big plays.

S Melvin Bullitt — Presuming Bob Sanders’ time is close to over, this versatile defensive back won’t be easily replaced.
Great. Now I have to come up with something else. You know what that means…more soccer!
