Patrick Surtain II is currently the best defensive player in the NFL, but the disrespect continues to follow him around this offseason. We have seen Surtain ranked below Sauce Gardner in cornerback rankings, and we have now seen yet another sign of disrespect as the offseason finishes up.
It's actually quite odd - Surtain won the Defensive Player of the Year award in 2024 and has since been insulted left and right. The primary issue may honestly be that cornerback isn't necessarily a glamorous position - things like sacks, receiving yards, rushing yards, and overall touchdowns is what attracts NFL fans the most.
