Here’s a quiz: Name the five best wide receivers in the NFL over the past three years (based on receiving only, not rushing or blocking).
Now name the five best pass-rushing edge defenders in the NFL (based on pass-rushing only).
Finally, name the five best cornerbacks in the NFL (based only on pass coverage, not on run support or tackling).
Please don’t read on until you’ve done all three, just to get into the spirit of things.
It’s a subjective exercise, but you might imagine that there would be substantial agreement about three or four of the five.
