No. 6 – Aqib Talib
Would it shock you to hear that Aqib Talib is actually rated lower than Bradley Roby on certain national ratings systems? Pro Football Focus says Talib is a full 1.1 points behind Roby as a cover corner so far in 2015.
It may seem hard to believe, as Talib has made some big plays, after all, he’s notched three interceptions already on the year, two of which have gone for touchdowns.
But he’s also had some tough days at the office. Oakland and Minnesota stand out, specifically, as Talib was burned or turned around on more than one occasion in both games.
Still, the co-pilot of the “No Fly Zone” is having a big, big year. Between Talib and Chris Harris Jr., with assists from Roby, Darian Stewart and David Bruton, Denver has the best pass defense in the league.
