2026 BEST CORNERBACKS ON THE BLITZ
Cornerbacks blitz mostly from the slot, and the pass rush grade scores those snaps for pressures, hits and sacks.

Tyrann Mathieu (LSU) and Minkah Fitzpatrick (Alabama) were the exceptions who blitzed often.
Below, draft-eligible cornerbacks are ranked by pass rush grade, with tackling, run defense, coverage grades and overall rating alongside.
