Eckert’s Examinations: 2022 College CB Run Defense Stat Study

Continuing the series, I wanted to circle back to the cornerback position, this time looking at run defense following my coverage studies. Pittsburgh was luckily able to select Joey Porter Jr. at 32nd overall, along with Cory Trice Jr. in the seventh round. Today’s goal is to look at and provide stat context for the position using Sports Info Solutions (SIS). The data in this study looks at their final college season in 2022, focusing on the players who heard their names called in the draft, and one player was excluded due to SIS not tracking smaller schools.
