I always felt like Munnerlyn was the better corner but Gamble is still a nice mention. 

Gamble was wayyyyy better than Munnerlyn.  Munnerlyn was an alright to solid nickel CB, but he couldn't play outside.  Gamble was a strong #1 corner for years, then he was borderline-elite in 2011 (the only good part about that '11 defense).  If there was any year he deserved to make the Pro Bowl, it was then.  According to PFF, he only allowed 284 yards that year (source).

Surprised Sheldon Brown never made a Pro Bowl.

He got one in 2005. Over Tillman and it was less about his CB skill than it was for his missed FG return. Voters love memorable moments and they don't get any bigger than than a record breaking play. 

 

It was moreso for the interception totals. Same reason Lito Sheppard kept making it over Sheldon Brown.

Gamble was a stud. Probably the most underrated player in Panthers history. Definitely not flashy and risky like Norman, but I don't remember Gamble ever getting beat deep much at all.

Sheldon Brown was a really good corner for the Eagles for 5 or so years.

Those 2002 Eagles:

Sheldon Brown

Lito Sheppard

Al Harris

Troy Vincent

Bobby Taylor

with Dawkins at safety

 

Brown just got lost in the mix but he was a very good corner.

That playoff hit on Reggie Bush...
