The 2022 NFL Draft looks to have a particularly deep and talented class of cornerbacks.
This draft class is so thoroughly talented that we could see as many as 15 cornerbacks drafted by the end of the third round. That’s fantastic news for cornerback-needy defenses, and potentially bad news for passing offenses around the NFL.
There will be corners to fit just about every defensive scheme and need. There are smaller slot corners, skilled technicians, and big, physical, and athletic corners like Georgia’s Kelee Ringo.
New York Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale bases much of his scheme on aggressive coverage and using defensive backs to scheme pressure up front.
