lot of talk this year about how Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Casey Hayward
has fallen off and is not the player we had grown used to watching on Sundays.
There are some statistics that support that narrative to a degree and the eye
test did suggest that he was not quite on the level he had been, but that level
was “best cornerback in the NFL,” so there was a lot of room between that and
becoming some sort of liability.A Pro Football Focus tweet offers up an
incredibly impressive stat that says people may have been writing Hayward off a
little too soon. (the pick-two in Denver also said that)Hayward this year has
been second only to future Hall of Famer Richard Sherman in coverage snaps per
reception allowed with a minimum of 350 coverage snaps played. The graphic says
“lockdown,” and it is hard to think of a better adjective to apply to Hayward

first rounders after Week 17 - Mark ChichesterWe may never know why Derwin James
fell to the Chargers with the 17th overall pick, but the team should thank their
lucky stars that he did. Over the last 17 weeks, the Florida State product has
put together a masterful campaign that may very well end in Defensive Rookie Of
The Year honors. In his 16 games, James has proved to be a jack-of-all-trades,
and out of his 1027 defensive snaps Youth Virgil Green Jerseys , he logged 205 on the defensive line, 418 in the box, 166 as a slot cornerback, 22 as a perimeter cornerback and 216 as a free safety. His
