The Denver Broncos have one of the NFL's best defenses heading into the 2026 season, and it's a unit led by Pat Surtain II, one of the best cornerbacks in the league.
But, Surtain might not just be one of the best, he might actually be the best CB in the league right now. The 2024 Defensive Player of the Year was voted as such in a recent poll of NFL scouts, coaches, and executives by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
In this poll, one NFL coordinator didn't hold back in his belief of Surtain being the best CB in the NFL. He said, "It's not close," and Surtain is even a generational player.
"It's not close," one seasoned NFL coordinator said, "A generational player. Watch the AFC Championship Game. He was the best player on the field by far."
