Indianapolis Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II is hoping to work a new contract, and the latest rankings from Pro Football Focus suggest he has a legitimate case.
Despite being the 27th-ranked cornerback when it comes to average annual value (AAV) on his current deal, Pro Football Focus ranked Moore as the best slot cornerback in the NFL entering the 2022 season.
No one has played more slot coverage snaps since 2018 than former UDFA Kenny Moore. In that span, he’s been the biggest playmaker at the position: His 12 interceptions from the slot are three more than any other player over the last four seasons, and his 1.33 Wins Above Replacement (PFF WAR) is well above any other predominant slot corner over that stretch. There’s no denying his ability to see the game at a high level — his instincts and processing are vital traits for a slot corner, and he checks the box with flying colors.
