When the Arizona Cardinals secondary is brought up in conversation, the first player usually mentioned would be Patrick Peterson. And rightfully so. He’s a five-time Pro Bowler, a shut-down cornerback who regularly blanks top NFL wide receivers.
In an underachieving year for Arizona, Peterson has once again been excellent. He’s most likely heading to yet another Pro Bowl. And he hasn’t been the only bright spot in the Cardinals’ secondary.
Tony Jefferson is not a household name among NFL fans, but Cards’ fans are well aware of his prowess. The fourth-year safety is currently Arizona’s second-leading tackler with 73 stops (Deone Bucannon is first with 79).
