Ben Linsey of Pro Football Focus recently ranked the top 10 slot cornerbacks in the NFL and Denver Broncos defensive back Bryce Callahan made the list, ranked No. 2.
Here is part of Linsey’s commentary with Callahan’s ranking:
It’s difficult to make the argument that any slot cornerback has been better in coverage than Callahan since 2017. Over this four-year span, Callahan has earned a 90.0 coverage grade with a passer rating of just 64.7 into his coverage when lined up inside (best in NFL among qualifiers). Health will be the biggest concern heading into 2021 with Callahan missing the entire 2019 season and part of last year due to injury.
Callahan is the highest-ranked AFC West cornerback on the list, above ex-Bronco Chris Harris Jr., who now plays for the Los Angeles Chargers.
Kenny Moore II of the Indianapolis Colts is ranked No. 1. To view the complete list of the NFL’s best slot cornerbacks, visit PFF’s website.
