LaDainian Tomlinson, a five-time Pro Bowl running back turned NFL Network analyst, said he believed there are no “shutdown” cornerbacks in the NFL nowadays, a comment that inevitably struck a chord with many of the game’s leading defensive backs.
In a roundtable discussion with Michael Robinson and Dan Hellie about whether free agent Josh Norman should be the highest-paid corner in the game, Tomlinson said: “Right now there are no shutdown corners. At all. There are none.”
Tomlinson weighed in after Robinson said he didn’t think Seattle’s Richard Sherman fell into the category of elites.
