Best Cornerback Seasons Over the Past 30 Years
These are the best Cornerback seasons over the past 30 years. This list is based off their talent and performance throughout the season and playoffs. It would be easy for me to base it off interceptions only, but the best Cornerbacks have QBs avoid them like the plague. Therefore performances is not only based on stats and mostly include all-pro selections.
