Broncos: Patrick Surtain II Ranked 7th-Best CB in NFL
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler conducted a survey of more than 50 league executives, coaches, scouts, and players to rank the best cornerbacks in the NFL. Surtain was ranked seventh overall, and he even picked up some first-place votes.
“Surtain could be even higher,” Fowler wrote. “Some voters don’t love pushing second-year players into the top five, but the skill set will get him there soon enough. And multiple high-ranking execs had no problem placing Surtain No. 1 overall.”
“As a rookie, Surtain gave up 45 catches for 495 yards when targeted 89 times as the nearest defender (NFL Next Gen Stats), an impressive clip against the backdrop of his four interceptions,” Fowler continued. “He also racked up 58 tackles and 14 pass deflections as a full-time starter.”
“Dude’s legit — he’s been good all of his life,” a NFL personnel evaluator said per Fowler. “A unicorn in the sense that he’s supremely talented, has great football IQ and works hard. The trifecta.”
Last season, Surtain had four interceptions, which led all rookies. In addition, he allowed a passer rating of 61.3 when targeted, which was the 12th-best mark in the league.
On June 13, head coach Nathaniel Hackett raved about Surtain’s skills.
“Not only is he a great person, but just when the guy goes out there, his intelligence of the game, his understanding of the game, his size, his skills are pretty premier,” Hackett said.
“Pat is doing a great job, and he is a special player,” Hackett added.
