2023 BEST RATED TACKLING CORNERBACKS
A cornerback’s tackling grade scores what he does after the catch and in run support: tackles made against tackles missed, and the yards given up when he arrives late or bounces off. Desmond King (Iowa) and Morris Claiborne (LSU) were both willing, reliable tacklers, which is rarer at the position than it should be.
The table ranks this year’s draft-eligible cornerbacks by tackling grade, alongside run defense, zone coverage, man and press coverage, and overall rating.
