It’s still too early to anoint them as a truly elite unit … but their achievements only continue to become more legitimate by the week.
The New York Jets‘ young cornerback room burst onto the scene in Week 1. They held their own against the Carolina Panthers’ highly respected wide receiver trio of D.J. Moore, Robby Anderson, and Terrace Marshall, combining to allow just 77 yards and zero touchdowns throughout the game.
Over the next two games, Carolina would drop 140 yards on the Saints’ cornerbacks and 170 yards on the Texans’ cornerbacks.
