T6. TRE’DAVIOUS WHITE, CB, BUFFALO BILLS White was ‘Part A’ of the two-part series known as ‘rookie corners to light the world on fire’ last season. The 2017 cornerback class as a whole is likely to be the gift that keeps on giving and as of right now, White is bringing home most of the early returns. His 92.0 overall grade as a rookie landed him at second among all cornerbacks. A coverage phenom, White forced incomplete passes on 24.1 percent of targets into his coverage, the sixth-highest rate among cornerbacks that played at least 400 snaps in coverage. He also only allowed a touchdown or a first down on just 26.4 percent of targets, the seventh-lowest rate. In total, he narrowly edge his counterpart for PFF’s Rookie of the Year honors, following the season. T6. MARSHON LATTIMORE, CB, NEW ORLEANS SAINTS ‘Part B’ of the aforementioned rookie duo, Lattimore was so sticky in coverage in 2017, targeting him was only a slightly more lucrative opportunity than spiking the ball into the ground and certainly a more a risky one. Lattimore allowed a passer rating against of just 45.3 (third among cornerbacks) while ranking third in playmaker index, intercepting or breaking up 22.1 percent of the passes thrown his way.

I just find it funny that when PFF compares these two, they never tell the full story. They don’t mention that The Marsh didn’t allow any TD’s all season. That is not discredible. They shouldn’t be tied for 6 no way possible.

They tied them at six because even though they had White as the higher rated player, they said Lattimore played better competition.

I'll listen, I just don't always agree (especially with defensive players as it's not easy to judge what a play on defense was supposed to be just by watching film. You'd literally need to know what every call was to judge it properly).

It's easier to judge offensive players and I fully agree about Fournette. He was overhyped because he hit 1,000 yards and had 9 TDs (which is impressive, but also remember he doesn't have to really split goal line carries).

I'm actually more surprised by the stat that two runs make up more than 15% of his yards. That's insanely high, especially considering how many carries he got.

His stats (and running style/concerns) bear a striking resemblance to Trent Richardson’s rookie season

Yards/TD/YPC

Richardson- 950/ 12/ 3.6
Fournette- 1040/ 10/ 3.9

3.9 is alarming considering the two long touchdowns

From Week 10 through the playoffs, he was arguably the best tackle in the league excelling as both a run-blocker and in pass protection. Outside of one hit surrendered, Ramczyk kept his quarterback completely clean of any pressure over his last eight games.
