A second look at 2014 pass coverage numbers casts the identity of football's best cornerback in doubt, but also exposes the worst corners in the NFL.
In 2013, Trumaine McBride posted the best charting stats of any cornerback in terms of both adjusted success rate and adjusted yards per pass allowed. Now, the rental car agreement-length disclaimer in that article made clear that although McBride had posted the best numbers for that year, he was in no sense the best corner in football. Still, McBride's ascension to the top of the heap certainly felt odd, and his performance was not repeated in 2014 in his limited snaps.
