It’s easy to look at a defense that was one of the worst in the league and dismiss every position group. How can anyone celebrate a pass defense that made backup QBs look like legitimate stars each week?
Yet, if you take a step back and look at the fine details, the cornerback group may be one of the more promising units going forward for this Falcons team.
A.J. Terrell
Stats: 16 games, 66 targets, 29 receptions (43.9%), 47.5 passer rating allowed, 200 yards (6.9 y/r), 3 TDs allowed, 3 INTs
It’s no stretch to say that Terrell was Atlanta’s best player on defense, and yes, that includes Grady Jarrett.
