To no surprise of anyone who regularly watches the New Orleans Saints, Marshon Lattimore is considered one of the top cornerbacks around the league. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN has been releasing a series of positional rankings decided on by votes from NFL executives, coaches, scouts, and players.
And they’re in agreement with highly-regarded Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who last week put Lattimore in the same conversation with Jalen Ramsey for the toughest opponents he’s seen since turning pro. The ESPN polling results had Ramsey at No. 1 and Lattimore at No. 2. Not bad company to be with.
I think it is fair to say that on any down, either are capable of being the best in the NFL. Lattimore has always been a player who plays up to his opponent, but not always consistently reaching that elite level. But anyone who can take out a teams best receiver completely out of the game should be given a ton of respect.
