    >Gordon led all Bears defensive backs in playtime last season (79.4% of defensive snaps) and he has stepped into an even bigger role this season with his slot snap rate increasing from 43.9 percent to 73.6. The second-year pro out of Washington has heeded the call, as his 5.0 yards per target allowed on slot targets is the fifth-best figure among all defenders (min. 15 slot targets).

    >But like Trent McDuffie, Gordon is a viable threat as a pass rusher. His five pressures are second-most among all defenders from a slot alignment (and tied for third-most among all cornerbacks), leading to the second-highest pass rush score (83) on this list.

  2. He’s been great this year despite the fact that we are dead last in sacks, which makes our secondary look much worse than it is (that and Eberflus making Stevenson play zone when he’s a press man corner)

  3. Gordon has really stepped up. It’s been a nice surprise to see. He was all over the field against the panthers.

  4. ya Gordon has looked it too. playing very well. we have some pieces. i think we’re way closer than it sometimes seems
