Rams CBs rank 1st and 2nd in NFL for lowest passer rating allowed

The Los Angeles Rams have significantly improved their secondary this offseason, bolstered by the addition of Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson. However, a third cornerback named Josh Wallace has emerged as a standout playmaker, stepping up to fill the void left by injuries to Kam Chennings and Watson.

Wallace has proven his versatility, playing both in the slot and outside. Pro Football Focus highlights that McDuffie and Wallace are the top two cornerbacks in the NFL for the lowest passer rating allowed. McDuffie ranks first with a 21.1 rating, while Wallace follows closely at 29.2.

Isaiah Rodgers and Christian Gonzalez round out the top four, with ratings of 43.8 and 44.0 respectively. Notably, Josh Wallace ranks eighth among all cornerbacks who have played at least 184 snaps, with a passer rating allowed of 29.2.

Watson has also been exceptional, allowing the eighth-lowest passer rating in the league at 60.8 among cornerbacks with at least 184 snaps. The Rams' three cornerbacks are currently ranked in the top 10 for this critical statistic, contributing to the team allowing the second-fewest passing yards and the fifth-lowest passer rating this season.

This substantial improvement is a far cry from last season, when the Rams' secondary permitted the 14th-most passing yards, reflecting a significant boost in performance after a shaky defensive season.
