Touchdown Wire’s Mark Schofield recently released his list of the top 12 cornerbacks in the NFL and Pat Surtain made the cut, ranked No. 11.
Here’s part of Schofield’s commentary on Surtain’s ranking:
It might seem almost a bit presumptuous to place Patrick Surtain II into a list like this after just one NFL season, but his play during his rookie campaign is worthy of a selection. Surtain started 15 of his 16 games for the Denver Broncos last season, notching four interceptions, including a Pick-Six of his own.
Surtain also held opposing passers to an NFL passer rating of just 69.7 when targeting, ranking him ninth in the NFL among qualified cornerbacks.
Arguing that Surtain is already one of the league’s top cornerbacks won’t be met with any objections from fans in Denver. He has a very bright future.
