Who is the best slot cornerback in the NFL?
Well, Broncos fans might tell you it’s former undrafted cornerback Chris Harris, who has been one of the best slot corners in the NFL over the last three years since going undrafted out of Kansas.
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Walter Thurmond III declared on Tuesday that he is the best slot corner in the NFL, to which Harris took offense, and Thurmond fired back.
This got into a pretty cat-like argument quickly, one that was also joined by Eagles cornerback Brandon Boykin. Despite Thurmond’s claims that he never has given up a TD out of the slot, he’s got no bragging room over Harris, who also hasn’t given any up out of the slot.
This is pretty funny to read. I don’t think any of these players should be disappointed about how they’ve performed the last three years. Interesting to see them go at it and how much they pay attention to their stats.
