Does anyone remember the narrative surrounding the Patriots secondary this offseason?
When J.C. Jackson signed with the Los Angeles Chargers, many wondered how the Patriots would go about replacing their No. 1 cornerback and Pro Bowler. Jackson was clearly one of the best players in New England last season. When he left, it was a fair concern that the Patriots secondary would be worse.
After all, there was no clear-cut shutdown cornerback on the roster. Or so we thought.
After nine weeks in the 2022 NFL season, it appears that the Patriots have multiple solid lockdown cornerbacks on their 53-man roster.
