Coverage skills and playmaking aren’t just the best at his position, they’re elite amongst the greatest seasons ever at CB. You’re watching some of the most potent CB play ever. Prime and Revis were feared, so no one threw their way. The league is just behind on having that kind of mentality toward Bland. That’s how much pick-6s affect the game and I won’t debate it. The only other high-impact play you can have as a defender is taking the QB out of the game…

While obviously monsters in their own right, Garrett, Micah, Watt and Bosa haven’t risen to THAT level, yet.

ALL of the DPOY favorites are edge defenders. Glossing over how obviously biased that is, it wasn’t so long ago that Gilmore won the award with arguably a worse season than Bland is having, undeniably by the numbers.
