Here are the best corners in the NFC South as we head into the 2024-25 season
The NFC South has been the most lowly regarded division in the NFL for the last few years. It's a division that has a combined record of just 56-80 over the last two seasons, a winning percentage of .412. Only theand Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a winning record over that span, with both recording a mediocre 9-8 mark last season.
The eighth overall choice in the 2021 NFL Draft out of South Carolina, Horn is the son of former Saints standout WR Joe Horn. Jaycee has not had much early success in his NFL career, in large part because of a series of injuries. A broken foot caused him to miss the last 14 games of 2021, then a wrist injury sidelined him for the last three games of 2022. Last season, a hamstring injury sidelined him for a total of 11 contests.
A third-round choice out of Auburn in the 2019 NFL Draft, Dean has always been an underrated contributor for the Tampa Bay defense. His postseason play during the Buccaneers 2020-21 Super Bowl run is often overlooked. New Orleans selected Adebo out of Stanford with a third-round choice in the 2021 NFL Draft. He quickly earned a starting spot opposite Marshon Lattimore, giving the Saints a physical and playmaking man coverage tandem. After three interceptions, eight passes broken up, and less than 62% completion percentage allowed as a rookie, Adebo showed some inconsistencies in 2022. He'd bounce back with a fury in 2023.
Atlanta selected Terrell out of Clemson with the 16th choice in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. For the last several seasons, he's been one of the very few bright spots on a poor Falcons defense. An 11th overall choice out of Ohio State and 2017 Defensive Rookie of the Year, Lattimore remains one of the elite corners in the NFL. He's a four-time Pro Bowler who has 15 career interceptions, 86 passes broken up, and 10 fumbles forced or recovered over an outstanding seven-year career.
