1 Vikings Corner Has Been Elite, Says PFF

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers is currently ranked first overall at his position according to grading by Pro Football Focus. Rodgers has excelled in defensive coordinator Brian Flores' pressure-heavy scheme, where cornerbacks are frequently left in single coverage. Through the season's early stretch, he has limited opposing passers to seven completions on 22 targets with zero touchdowns allowed and an opposing passer rating of 31.4.

Writer K. Joudry notes that Rodgers has also recorded 15 tackles, an interception, four passes defended, a fumble recovery, and a blocked field goal. Operating in the final season of a two-year contract averaging roughly $5.2 million annually, the 28-year-old defensive back will head into Minnesota's bye week before returning to action in Week 7.
