PFF's Top 32 Cornerbacks
As Pro Football Focus moves through each position group, ranking the top 32 players in that category, NFL analyst Ben Linsey compiled the latest list, focusing on cornerback. One 49ers player made the list, coming in at No. 22. Here's what the analytic's site had to say:
No. 22: Jason Verrett
"Verrett exceeded all expectations in his return from a string of injuries last season for San Francisco. The 2014 first-round pick looked like an ascending star with a 90.9 coverage grade in his second year in the NFL, but he managed to take the field for just over 300 total snaps the following four seasons combined.
"Verrett fought back to earn a starting job with the 49ers in 2020 and put up a top-20 PFF grade among qualifying cornerbacks on a career-high 803 defensive snaps. Health remains the biggest concern for Verrett heading into next season."
