Fox Sports ranks NFL’s best cornerbacks (Pat Surtain is No. 1)
Unsurprisingly, Denver Broncos CB Pat Surtain is still considered the best cornerback in the NFL!
According to Fox Sports, Denver Broncos star cornerback Pat Surtain is considered the best cornerback in the NFL. Surtain had an outstanding 2024 season, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors despite missing several games due to injury. His exceptional coverage and versatile skills have earned him high praise from defensive coaches.
Surtain is described as a "rare find" with a high IQ, strong man-to-man skills, and excellent zone awareness. Fox Sports' panel of writers has ranked Surtain as the top cornerback heading into the 2026 season. The Broncos defense, led by Surtain, is aiming for a major run in both the regular season and playoffs, much like their dominant squad in 2015 that won Super Bowl 50.
