Denver Broncos CB Aqib Talib was recently named the winner of Pro Football Focus’ Best Coverage Defender Award for the 2016 NFL season. To see the winner of every PFF award, visit our NFL awards page.
The 2016 Denver Broncos’ roster featured one of the highest-graded cornerback tandems we’ve ever seen at Pro Football Focus. In fact, Chris Harris Jr. and Aqib Talib’s combined grade was the highest we’ve ever seen since the mark set by Darrelle Revis and Lito Sheppard for the Jets in 2009 (although that was almost all Revis). Together, the Denver duo gave up fewer yards (750) than nine other individual cornerbacks this season.
