Ranking all 32 NFL secondaries this season - Matt Claassen
The Chargers’ free-agency additions worked out very well for them in 2016. Dwight Lowery, earned his highest coverage grade of his past three seasons as a starter, albeit not nearly to the level of the departed Eric Weddle. Bringing in Casey Hayward turned out to be one of the best moves by any team. Hayward led the league with seven interceptions and allowed a passer rating of 53.4 into his coverage, third-lowest among all cornerbacks. Unfortunately, San Diego had to deal with season-ending injuries to their other top corners, Jason Verrett and Brandon Flowers.
