Each week, NFL.com analyst Ike Taylor unveils his ranking of the league’s best cornerbacks.
The former Steelers cornerback showed some love to the Vikings this week as a pair of Vikings cracked the top 10.
Veteran Terence Newman landed at No. 8 on Taylor’s list while fellow cornerback Xavier Rhodes came in at No. 10.
Taylor said Newman, the fifth overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, is playing at a high level for a stout Minnesota defense.
In his 14th NFL season, this veteran cornerback is having one of his best performances yet with a Vikings defense that ranks fourth against the pass.
