He's currently overrated, but he's also only 23 years old. He'll be the best corner in the NFL in 2 years IMO, but he's outside of the top 5 right now, but the top 5 are all much older than he is outside of Haden (25).

QBs had over a 90 Passer Rating against him, which put him at 66th for corners playing over 50% of their snaps. He gave up 6 touchdowns and got targeted a lot for an elite corner. Despite 90 targets, he only had 3 interceptions and 6 passes defended. He also gave up 284 yac

Sherman had a Rating of 36 against him, and gave up 1 TD and had 8 interceptions with 5 PDs despite only getting targeted 57x. 81 yac

Lewis had a rating of 67 against him. He gave up 3 TDs, 4 ints, and 5 PDs with 68 targets. 112 yac.

his return abilities are just an added bonus.

They aren't giving him those responsibilities anymore b/c he hasn't produced and is too valuable. His rookie season was incredible, but since then:

2013: 6 yard average which is 23rd in the NFL (and behind Sproles) with 0 touchdowns with 5 fumbles

2012: 8 yards (22nd in NFL) with 0 TDs with 2 fumbles

You have to look at this as a whole body of work, not just last years stats TigerBait. 2012 he was 4th in interceptions with 7. He did have a down season in 13 I'll give you that, but in my opinion is he is at least a top 10 corner, and with his freakish genes could be one of the best corners in the league.
