I was hoping I would be able to draw cornerback in our midseason review series because frankly, sometimes I just want to write something really positive and upbeat about the Falcons, and there have not been a lot of opportunities for that of late. This Falcons cornerback group, though? Easy.
Let’s dive in to what this quietly great group has been up to in 2017 thus far, and what we should expect from them going forward.
Production
CB Desmond Trufant - 17 tackles, 1 interception, 6 pass deflections, 1 sack, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 defensive touchdown
Breakdown
A year ago, the Falcons got everyone from Jalen Collins to Deji Olatoye more involved on defense with Desmond Trufant out.
