There’s no one traditional way for cornerbacks to line up.
Some coaches want the No. 1 cornerback to shadow a specific receiver for the entire game. Others might have a specific corner who always lines up on the left and another always on the right.
Sometimes a coach will have a defensive back who prefers to play the short side of the field and another always line up where there’s more space.
Carol City has a something different it likes to do with Brownlee. The Chiefs’ No. 1 cornerback always lines up along the opponent’s sideline.
