Fresno State Dream Team: Safeties

Who are the best safeties in school history? Let's find out. Each Bulldog Bounce blogger has turned in his own votes for each position already, but we want to hear what you -- the readers -- think. Then, at the end of all the voting we'll compare our results to yours.

We're going position-by-position with the idea of starting healthy debate about why so-and-so is better than such-and-such? YOU decide the criteria! What's more important? College stats or pro? Four-year starters or JC transfers? Single-season greatness or consistency?

Next up is safety, and the nominees are:
--Steve Cordle
--Tyrone Culver
--Vernon Fox
--Cory Hall
--Marquez Pope
--James Sanders
--Michael Stewart
--Omar Stoutmire
--Sam Watson
--Rod Webster
--Cameron Worrell

The Bulldog Bounce selects James Sanders and Marquez Pope as the two best safeties in Fresno State history. Each had three first-team votes and one second-team. Omar Stoutmire just missed first-team honors with one first-team vote and three second-team. Rod Webster also received a first-team vote, and Michael Stewart, Cory Hall and Vernon Fox also received votes.

Have fun, voice your opinion and let the voting begin! The nominees will remain posted in the right-hand column for you to choose from, but please add comments to this blog entry as well.
