Watch: Xavier Rhodes break down his opponents on film

Since he was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2013, Xavier Rhodes has developed into one of the absolute best cornerbacks in the NFL. This hasn’t been a result of just pure talent though, Rhodes has put in the long hours on and off the field to get to where he is today.

As much as he prepares his body for each season in the weight room and out on the practice field, getting his mind right in the film room is just as essential to his success each year.

Recently, Rhodes took some time to sit down with NFL Media’s Brian Brian Baldinger and Ron Jaworski to go over how he uses game film to help him get ready to cover some of the top wide receivers in the league.
