I remember one year Monty Jackson was the best cornerback in the NFL, playing for the L.A. Rams. He finished the season with 10 interceptions.

Some other good ones that nobody mentioned were Vernon Dean, Bobby Howard and Tory Nixon.

I forgot about Vernon Dean. He would be a contender for my number 2 behind Willie Buchanon. As would M Jackson, Edwards, Lavender, T Jackson, Howard, Griffith, Russell. Don't forget, John Fox was a good DB too, before he went into coaching. McFadden's got his work cut out for him to move up in the rankings.

Our DBs had to be good, with all those crazy vertical Flag Football style offenses we had to cover.

I recall that Coryell felt Billie Hayes was one of the best corners ever to play for him at State. Billie did not have much of a pro career, but his older brother Tommy, who actually came along later after getting out of the Army had an excellent career as an Aztec, was drafted by Atlanta and if I'm not mistaken was the runner up for rookie of the year honors.

If wins & losses is your kinda thing then you gotta include Billie. Pretty sure he never lost a game as an Aztec (1 tie) & he's a great guy to boot. 8-) :)

Herm Edwards had a decent pro career as a player although he was an Aztec for only one season...his senior.

And according to my uncle in Minneapolis who knew him well when he was with the Vikings, one helluva nice guy.

Monte Jackson and Willie Buchanon were the only 2 Aztec DBs to be 1st team all-pro.

Buchanon (3), Lavender (2), M Jackson (2) and Griffith were Pro-Bowlers.

I was wondering if anyone was going to mention Monte...

How many of the others named have one of these?

Tory Nixon & Vernon Dean both high draft picks. Vernon was busted for Crack though.

Monty and his brother wooped us in intramural hoops, six foot and under division....Monty would steal, go coast to coast and dunk behind his head- great athlete, good guy too.

SDSU had a DB Rueben Henderson who was drafted by the Bears in the early 80's. So he played with Dean. 2 players in the same secondary to be drafted in the NFL doesn't happen too often.
