  • Despite free-agent signings of cornerbacks Prince Amukamara, Marcus Cooper, and B.W. Webb this offseason, the Bears still find themselves without an above-average, or grade 80-plus, cornerback.
  • In 2016, Ohio State’s Marshon Lattimore allowed a NFL passer rating of 30.2 on balls thrown his way. The class-average passer rating allowed for cornerbacks is an 82.
  • An epitome of consistency, there was only one game where Lattimore received a below-average grade (Week 13 vs. Michigan). In this “bad” game, he still only allowed 27 yards on 6 targets.
  • Lattimore is also a very efficient tackler.
