Yes, some recency bias.  However, CB has been a notoriously difficult position for us to recruit for, but, recently, we have had much more talent on average, and specifically in the defensive backfield.  So, it would not be surprising if a lot of the "best ever players" have come since 2009.

Also if the question is "who is the best in absolute terms?" then the answer is almost certainly someone recent, since athletes are generally getting better with time.
