The New England Patriots have built solid depth across many of their most important positions, but the folks at Pro Football Focus believe the competition at cornerback will outweigh any other position on the roster.
When charting the biggest training camp competitions at every position, PFF pointed at New England’s competition between Malcolm Butler, Terrance Mitchell, Marcus Jones and Jalen Mills as the biggest at cornerback across the entire NFL.
“The Patriots let J.C. Jackson walk in the offseason in a classic example of the team being unwilling to pay big bucks to retain one of its better players,” Sam Monson wrote.
