Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain is ranked 19th on CBS’ list of the Top 100 NFL players entering 2023. Surtain totaled 60 tackles (46 solo), two interceptions, and ten pass deflections and has established himself as a lockdown corner in the league last fall.
Here’s what Pete Prisco of CBS had to say about why he placed Surtain at 19th on his top 100 list:
He developed into one of the best cover players in the league last season. In his second season, he had four picks but really excelled in pass coverage. He’s also a willing tackler in the run game.
Surtain helped lead Denver to a top-five defense last season, but their 5-12 record is all that fans and pundits will think about. New head coach Sean Payton and defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, who is also a former Broncos head coach, are looking to match offensive and defensive success this season.
Perhaps, with the Payton-Joseph pairing, Surtain can become the best defensive player in the NFL.
