They revisit legendary battles with Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Marvin Harrison, Larry Fitzgerald, Megatron, and more, and break down why Charles Woodson is the most complete DB to ever play the game. Champ explains how practice separated him, what young corners get wrong today, how modern offenses and risk‑averse QBs changed the position, and why stats don’t tell the full story for shutdown corners.
