Bears cornerbacks coach and defensive passing game coordinator Jon Hoke rarely resorts to hyperbole and easily could have when talking about the defense and spe
cific cornerbacks heading into OTAs.
The obvious player fitting this concern is Jaylon Johnson after he got a $76 million deal for four years. However, in Johnson's case he has earned much of the respect he gets. He seems to get the complacency danger.One reason Johnson thinks he'll stay on track is a changing role.CHICAGO HAS QUICKLY BECOME WHERE WIDE RECEIVERS GO TO THRIVE SAYS PFF
The real question is where the Bears younger cornerbacks go. Tyrique Stevenson, Terell Smith and Kyler Gordon showed plenty of promise last year. Gordon was particularly effective in the slot once he got over his injury early in the year and logged some time.Smith and Stevenson got targeted plenty because teams didn't want to go after Johnson and found Gordon tougher to handle as he logged more time.
Only Eagles cornerback James Bradberry allowed more TD catches last year, according to Sportradar. He gave up 11. Stevenson and Washington's Kendall Fuller allowed nine each.The 93.7 is not a bad rating against for a rookie. In fact, it was better than Johnson's rating against, although Johnson was trying to do something much more difficult by guarding the best reciever. If Stevenson eliminates the big plays allowed, then he vaults into a higher category.
