Even the greats make mistakes

Mike Haynes should have known better. You have to make it to around the 4:31 mark to see his contribution to this atrocity!

The greatest Cornerbacks

We start the unveiling of the All-time ASU team with the cornerbacks.

Mike Haynes is the only Sun Devil in both the College Football and Pro Football Halls of Fame. He was all-conference in 1973, 74 and 75, and was named to six All-America teams at the end of the Sun Devils’ unbeaten 1975 season. ASU’s record was 40-8 during Haynes’ four seasons and Frank Kush nicknamed him “luxury”.

Eric Allen was a member of the 1987 Rose Bowl championship team. Listed generously at 5’10”, Allen used his blazing speed and football instincts to shut down the best of them.

Although not a condition for selection to this team, it is worth noting that both Haynes and Allen went on to stellar pro careers. Haynes arrival in Los Angeles midway through the 1983 season set the stage for the Raiders to win Super Bowl XVIII, and Eric Allen was a member of some great Philadelphia Eagle defenses during the late 80’s and early 90’s before moving on to the Saints and Raiders. Haynes was named to the NFL's 75th Anniversary All-Time Team.
