The New England Patriots feature one of the best cornerback tandems in all of football.
This notion was reflected in the latest installment of the “NFL Top 100” list.
Both of the Patriots’ top corners were featured on the latest episode of the annual NFL Network program. J.C. Jackson checked in at No. 49, marking the first time he’s cracked the prestigious list. Stephon Gilmore, meanwhile, was tabbed with the No. 47 position, a nine-spot dropoff from a season ago.
Jackson led all defensive players in takeaways (11) last season with nine interceptions and two fumble recoveries.
