Toughest call was Reggie Kelley over Tyler Eifert
Dhani's impact on the team is relatively under appreciated IMO. He came in during a season where we were starting guys like Anthony Schlegel and position-swapee's like Geathers and Ndukwe at LB. He really helped mop up a mess, and provided stability that helped mold the younger players (eventually) into a great defense.
He wasn't flashy and he was far from his prime when he arrived here, but his contribution was pretty significant IMO. Even as his physical abilities eroded, he remained a true "quarterback of the defense". No doubt the smartest player on that unit for a long time.
Thurman was a better player from an ability standpoint, but his off-field flaws are so egregious and stupid that I couldn't put him ahead of Dhani on that roster.
