Our final defensive category in the NFC all-time rankings takes us to interceptions, where two former New Orleans Saints made a living by taking the football away in the blink of an eye. The list is filled with some of the most dynamic defensive backs the game has ever seen, including the great Deion Sanders, who is widely regarded as the greatest cornerback of all time, and Ronnie Lott, the bruising enforcer who anchored the San Francisco 49ers secondary throughout their Super Bowl dynasty.
Whether it was elite ball skills, instincts, or physicality, these defensive backs had a knack for changing games with one play.
