Playing cornerback on the world’s greatest stage requires a certain mentality, a certain swagger, a certain ego. You have to believe you’re the best every play, you have to believe you’re going to win your matchup on every down but, the reality is, you can’t win every time. Cornerback is probably the toughest and most humbling position on the football field.
So, while he must have confidence, a great cornerback also must have humility.
For the Broncos Chris Harris, Jr. he’s won that matchup enough times to be in every conversation about the best corner in the league, enough to have, until Sunday, not given up a touchdown pass in over two years.
