Another Rams’ newcomer in the top 10, Trent McDuffie No. 5 cornerback
Out of NFL cornerbacks, Trent McDuffie ranks No. 5, down one spot from last season. The Rams’ newcomer missed four games last season with a knee injury but still racked up 63 total tackles, one interception, one forced fumble and one sack.
“McDuffie is a top-five cornerback for the second consecutive year,” Fowler writes. “Some evaluators still view him as more of a slot corner due to his size (5-foot-11), but that doesn’t tell the whole story. McDuffie was an outside corner for 500 snaps last season. Even so, some evaluators believe he’s best inside because of his strength, short-area quickness and competitiveness.”
