ALAMEDA, Calif. – Remember when David Amerson was seen as a flop by the team that drafted him and Washington cut him last year? What about that time Sean Smith got benched in his first game after signing a $40 million free-agent contract with the Oakland Raiders?
Small sample sizes, sure, and so was Week 3, but Amerson and Smith had such good games against the Tennessee Titans that they were the two top-ranked cornerbacks in the league by Pro Football Focus.
