Apr 22, 2020 Projected Round (2020): 6-FA. 4/22/20: Bandy is a backup slot cornerback competitor for the next level. He collected 28 tackles with eight passes broken up in 2019. In 2018, he had 36 tackles with three interceptions and 13 passes batted. Debione Renfro., CB, Texas A&M Height: 6-2. Mike Hilton has quietly been one of the best slot corners in the league, giving the Steelers a very underrated and unheralded group of corners. Hilton may be a small step behind the best slot defenders in the league, but only Desmond King and Nickell Robey-Coleman have a higher PFF grade when lined up there (83.6) over the past three seasons. Jul 10, 2020 Nickell Robey-Coleman No. 6 in ranking of NFL's 11 best slot. Doug Farrar and Touchdown Wire recently ranked the top-11 slot cornerbacks in the NFL. While Prince Tega Wanogho, a 2020 sixth. So, without further ado, let’s look at the top cornerbacks in the NFL. Disclaimer: The list below is my opinion, based on the information I’ve gathered from the 2019 season. Top 25 cornerbacks in the NFL 25. Brian Poole, New York Jets.

Recently, Mark Schofield and I compiled 14 different lists of the 11 best players at every position. From those names, we then compiled this list of the top 101 players in the NFL today. In this top 101, we forced ourselves to stick to players we had named in the positional lists, to avoid overdoing “skill position players” at the expense of slot cornerbacks, guards and interior defensive linemen. By drawing from a full list of positions as opposed to loading this with the most popular or highest-paid players, hopefully it gives a better and wider sense of the talent around the league than some other lists might.

The top 11 lists: Slot defenders Outside cornerbacks Safeties Linebackers Edge defenders Interior defensive linemen Offensive tackles Offensive guards Centers Outside Receivers Slot receivers Tight ends Running backs Quarterbacks

That said, this policy made for some weird decisions. Because when you limit yourself to the top 11 players at any position, you’re invariably going to leave some players out who deserve to be in. What if there are three or four really great slot cornerbacks, and 14 to 15 really great quarterbacks? You still have to leave Ryan Tannehill and Matthew Stafford off the list, which seems odd. Or, if Stefon Diggs doesn’t make your top 11 in a league where the group of outside receivers is absolutely stacked, you have to omit him, too. Not ideal.

Why 11 instead of 10? As the noted musical philosopher Nigel Tufnel once noted, it’s one louder.

But as they say, perfect is the enemy of good, and we wanted to stick with this particular paradigm. So, there are quite a few honorable mentions who didn’t make it, but certainly would have if the list were 10 to 20 players longer (and louder).

Chris Carson, Mark Ingram, Joe Mixon, Austin Hooper, Tyler Higbee, Dallas Goedert, Hunter Henry, Darren Waller, Jared Cook, Kenny Golladay, Joel Bitonio, Graham Glasgow, Richie Incognito, Brandon Scherff, Ryan Kelly, Jason Kelce, Alex Mack, Nickell Robey-Coleman, Jaylon Smith, Deion Jones, Cory Littleton, La’el Collins, Laremy Tunsil, and Taylor Lewan are among the players who just missed the cut. This should in no way be seen as us maligning their value as players… it’s just that there are only so many slots for any of these guys.

So, here are the ones who did make the cut. Here is Touchdown Wire’s list of the top 101 players heading into the 2020 NFL season.
