While Seahawks Richard Sherman and Jets Darrelle Revis argue over who’s the best cornerback in the league another CB has stepped in and tossed his name into the conversation. What he says is definitely going to ruffle Sherman’s feathers and we all know he has no problems responding. Read more after the jump.
The Cleveland Browns cornerback edged his way Friday into the largely tedious debate betweenRichard Sherman and Darrelle Revis over who wears the crown as the NFL’s top cornerback.
“I would say honestly, and this is just me being real 100 percent, I would say Darrelle Revis,” Haden said on NBC Sports Network’s “Pro Football Talk.” “I studied tape on guys and I try to look and see what I can do to get my game to be on their levels (and) I feel like I’m honestly the number two cornerback in the league, that’s just my opinion personally.”
Haden added: “I studied all the good guys, all the great guys that are in the league now but Darrelle Revis he just stands out cause he’s just complete. He tackles, he can play off, he can play press, and he’s just very, very, very patient and he’s just hard to deal with off the line. His footwork on the line is amazing and that’s just the one thing I feel like I need to get to his level is just press so I feel that’s why he’s the No. 1 cornerback now.”
Revis will have no problem listening to Haden wax poetic on the wonders of the New York Jetscornerback, but knocking Sherman down a peg — even if Haden did this with a dose of humility — is ripping the lid off Pandora’s Box.
