Last season, fifth-round rookie cornerback Tarheeb Still became one of the NFL’s best at his position. He ranked top 20 in coverage and overall grade, according to PFF, and his four interceptions tied for fifth-most last season among cornerbacks. But for NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks, he expects a real-deal breakout for Still.
“It’s all about the ball in Jesse Minter’s zone-based defense,” Brooks wrote. “Still quickly adapted to the system, showcasing outstanding instincts, awareness and diagnostic skills in coverage. The former fifth-round pick stole the show in the defensive backfield with four interceptions and 10 passes defensed in a vision-based scheme.
