Who’s the best cornerback in the NFL?

There’s been spats between Darrelle Revis and Richard Sherman, Patrick Peterson and Richard Sherman and numerous others jumping in on the debate of who is the best cornerback in the NFL.

Sherman has been very vocal in declaring himself the best corner in the league and after a league leading eight interceptions and a Super Bowl winning deflection, it’s hard to argue with him.  But that doesn’t mean they won’t.

In fact Peterson’s teammate Antonio Cromartie put himself in the conversation as well as his former teammate Darrelle Revis.

During an appearance on NFL Network, Cromartie was shown results of a fan poll that showed Sherman as the top choice at cornerback over Peterson, Joe Haden and Cromartie’s former teammate Darrelle Revis. Cromartie expressed surprise that his name wasn’t on the list and said that it was “fine and dandy” to go off a couple of seasons, but that his complete body of work was better than his younger peers.

“To me, right now, it’s either me or [Revis]. You got three guys that’s up and coming, but right now it’s either me or this guy — when we’re healthy,” Cromartie said. “And when we’re healthy we know what we can do on the football field. We’ve both shown it in a Rex Ryan defense with zero help. We tell that safety to roll up to the other side. … I want these guys to be on an island by themselves and play zero coverage. They [haven’t] done it yet. They [haven’t] done nothing that me and Rev have done in Rex Ryan’s defense.”
