Champ is a better cover corner than Deion ever was. The reason he gets lumped below him is because he has less big play ability simply based on the fact that he never gets thrown on. Deion got thrown on more because he gambled. Now Deion was a fantastic corner who made up ground better than Champ can dream of but that helped him make big plays and big plays earn more respect than simply shutting down a receiver to the point that they never throw a pass his way. If I had to choose I'd take Deion in his prime because he actually put points on the board for you but if I wanted a guy who shut down part of the field with no questions asked and no frills then Champ is my guy all day.
