In the 90's, Brice Boggs would be widely regarded as one of the most feared CBs in the league.
He doesn't blow anyone away by his speed. But he's fast enough to stick with some of the best in the game.
He doesn't have the shiftiest feet in the league. But he can handle a complicated route and stop the pass.
Where he really scares wide receivers is his antics.
Standing at 6'3, he's already a tall cornerback to deal with, but he makes himself look bigger by wearing shoes with thick soles, but not thick enough to harm his game. He also would love to talk trash; there's nothing like some healthy trash talk to intimidate your enemy.
He'd also play a bit dirty, for example, if there weren't any refs near him, he would bump a receiver after five yards, and "accidentally" hit him as he was stepping out of bounds.
But the scariest thing about him would be him playing strong safety. Boggs is versatile, and has great tackling ability for a defensive back. Occasionally, he'd get slotted in on safety. On vertical throws, he'd assist in coverage, by waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike, and to lay a big hit to the receiver as he is simultaneously going for the football.
