Newman, Rhodes in NFL.com's Top Cornerbacks Ranking

Each week, NFL.com analyst Ike Taylor unveils his ranking of the league’s best cornerbacks.

The former Steelers cornerback showed some love to the Vikings this week as a pair of Vikings cracked the top 10.

Veteran Terence Newman landed at No. 8 on Taylor’s list while fellow cornerback Xavier Rhodes came in at No. 10.

Taylor said Newman, the fifth overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft, is playing at a high level for a stout Minnesota defense.

In his 14th NFL season, this veteran cornerback is having one of his best performances yet with a Vikings defense that ranks fourth against the pass.
