Surtain's Rise to Top Cornerback | Denver Broncos News
Description
Pat Surtain II is officially the top cornerback in the league, earning 75% of first-place votes and hailed by coaches as a “generational player” for his dominance in key matchups. In just six seasons, he’s amassed four Pro Bowls, two All-Pro nods, and the 2024 AP Defensive Player of the Year award. Standing 6’2”, 202 lbs, he combines elite speed, smarts, and instincts to shut down elite receivers — including holding Ja’Marr Chase to just one catch for eight yards. Despite missing games in 2025 due to injury and drawing 10 penalties, he still broke up 12 passes and added to his 12 career interceptions, including a league-leading 132 yards returned in 2024. Drafted ninth overall in 2021, the Broncos have unlocked a defensive cornerstone, making their unit one of the most formidable in the NFL heading into 2026.
