His name is sometimes left off the list, but Aqib Talib is unquestionably one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL — frankly, if not THE best in the game. What makes Talib unique is the way he leverages size (6’1 and 205lbs) to play as physically as any cornerback in the league. He relishes playing man coverage on bigger receivers, faster receivers, and anyone in between. He has a tremendous jam at the line, he loves hitting receivers in the open field, and he’s not afraid to deliver a barely-legal late hit that lets receivers know what they’re in for when playing against him.
