An exceptionally popular player during his days in Cleveland (the local McDonalds franchises even had a sandwich named after him for a time), Michael Dean Perry was a defensive beast who, while with the Browns, was one of the leaders of a strong defense. MDP would go to five Pro Bowls as a Brown (his sixth coming with Denver), and he was a First Team All-Pro and Second Team All-Pro twice. He was also named the AFC Defensive Player of the Year in 1989. Not to bad for someone considered a little undersized, but nobody doubted his quickness off the snap was unquestioned.

Horace Grant was not a stat accumulator; he was a winner. After a stellar career at Clemson University where he was named ACC MVP, Grant was selected as the tenth pick of the 1987 draft. Grant was a key member of the first three title runs the Bulls had in the early 90's. He was the 3rd option on offense but was really their main low post defender. A very athletic power forward that could bang with the big guys and run with smaller guys, Grant would become the prototype that others would follow.
