Colts' Vontae Davis Had Best CB Season in PFF History
According to Pro Football Focus, the owner of the best cornerback season in PFF's history (2006-Present) is none other than former Indianapolis Colts DB Vontae Davis in 2014:
Even in an era of lockdown cornerbacks, an unexpected name rises to the top. Davis’ 2014 season was a notable one: Across 1,022 total snaps, he played to a 92.5 PFF coverage grade, allowing only 41 receptions on a 41.2 passer rating against. Likewise, Davis was a force against the run with a 91.1 PFF run-defense grade.
Undisputed greats at the cornerback position came close to Davis but couldn’t surpass his mark. Richard Sherman topped out at a 92.3 in 2012, the same year Charles Tillman accrued a 92.2 grade. Likewise, Darrelle Revis posted a 92.0 grade in 2009, and Charles Woodson didn’t lag much with a 91.7 that season. Other highlights include Asante Samuel‘s 93.2 in 2006, Chris Harris Jr.’s 92.0 in 2014 and Antoine Winfield’s 91.9 mark in 2008.
