Pro Football Focus thinks Nickell Robey’s job is not secure.
Nickell Robey burst onto the scene as an undrafted rookie for the Buffalo Bills in 2013 and locked down the nickel cornerback role, excelling in Mike Pettine’s defense. The addition of another cornerback to the mix has left some questioning if he can hold onto that role in 2016.
“Last season, Robey was the 90th-highest-graded cornerback in the league, surrendering a 102.4 passer rating into his coverage and the fourth-most yards allowed (482) from the slot,” says Pro Football Focus.
Eric Eager, writing for PFF, notes free agent cornerback Sterling Moore could sneak in and take the job.
