This one mystified me. I couldn't understand how Irvin, in his sixth-most productive year of the '90's, ranked only 31st on Giddings' list. Maybe he misread the numbers. I asked him about Cris Carter. Six-year does not apply because Boselli has only been in the league five years.
Same order holds all the way.
Reggie White had his best years pre-1990, Giddings feels. Howie Long might have snuck in there somewhere, except that only the last four years of his 13-year career were in the '90's, and he wasn't at the top of his game then. Personally, I'm not a Randle fan because he's too unsound against the run, but Giddings attaches far greater value to the pass rush. As for Saleaumua, this warms my heart because I had him on my all-pro team before the world discovered him. At five and six years they're tied with 11 and 16 points, respectively.
