No. 2 – Chris Harris Jr.
It’s been so long since Chris Harris Jr. surrendered a touchdown, our research staff had to know the Dewey decimal system to dig up any literature on the topic.
Indeed, the full-fledged coming-out party of 2014 is proving to be no fluke and Harris has once again asserted himself as one of, if not the top cornerback in the league.
He’s still yet to surrender a TD this season (do we even need to knock on wood anymore?) and he’s got two interceptions despite being thrown at just 37 times. He’s allowed just 213 total yards on the season and only 107 yards after the catch.
His 74-yard interception for a touchdown against Oakland proved to be the game-winning play in a contest that needed someone to be the difference-maker.
Always humble and always hungry, Harris is proving to be a long-term playmaker in the mold of Champ Bailey. He may never get the kind of adulation Bailey did, but there’s no discounting how important his role has been.
