Conclusion

This unit is perhaps the deepest that I have ever seen. With so many names that can make key plays on the defense, I am very excited for what Joe Woods has with this unit.

Let’s recap, you have Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. on the corners, Darian Stewart and T.J. Ward playing the middle of the field, and a few others waiting on the bench that can be just as effective.

I believe the secondary will be even stronger in 2016. Then again, they have a title to defend. And they want to continue to prove that they are the best secondary that the NFL has ever seen.

To be honest, I think they have a solid argument in that department. 2016 will tell us what they are capable of after an incredible 2015 season.
