The 2020 season offered some strong play from the defensive backs. As we continue our trip around the gridiron, here are the top 10 defensive backs for the past season.
The 2020 season ended like the past three have for the New Orleans Saints…in disappointment. This time it was by the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But let’s move on to what the offseason will look like for the New Orleans Saints.
Jaycee Horn is one of the three consensus top prospects by many draft analysts. He is the son of former New Orelans Saints receiver, Joe Horn. After primarily being a safety during his freshman season in 2018, he made the switch to the cornerback position. He started out as a slot corner, but then made the transition to an outside cornerback. Let’s see if the hype is warranted.
After the Baltimore Ravens ran away with the AFC North and the NFL in 2019 to the tune of a 14-2 record, it’s fair to say that the 2020 season was rather a disappointing one. Fresh off of Lamar Jackson’s MVP victory, it’s no surprise that the Ravens were the co-favorites with the Kansas City Chiefs to win Super Bowl LV.
In the 2019 season, Trey Lance threw for 28 touchdowns and zero interceptions while making some spectacular plays, which made him soar up draft boards for the 2021 draft. There are plays where Lance is lost, and the inexperienced and long release get to him. To add to the difficult evaluation, Lance only had one year as a full-time starter (and one game in 2020). He also played in a level of competition that was lower. The tools and intelligence of Lance are enticing, and he is comparable to Josh Allen. That is thanks to the development Lance will have to undergo before reaching his potential.
The Green Bay Packers finished the 2020 NFL season with a 13-3 record, and their season ended in the NFC Championship Game for the second season in a row. With needs on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, Green Bay will have their hands full between the start of the league year on March 15 and the first week of training camp.
Prior to the 2020 NFL season, three questions were posed for each of the 32 teams. This is the recap and answers to those questions for the San Francisco 49ers.
Javonte Williams broke onto the scene, taking over much of the NCAA. His partner in crime, Michael Carter, needs to be mentioned in that success. Carter’s ability to play a big-play threat in a rotation system is not just valuable for keeping fresh legs, it is also valuable because it fits what many NFL teams operate on nowadays.
It was a season that everyone expected, and the Cleveland Browns made their return to the postseason for the first time in 18 years. They made a little noise, getting their first postseason victory in 26 seasons.
After being perhaps the worst team many have seen in years in 2019, the Miami Dolphins came just a few plays short of a playoff campaign in 2020, as they finished with a 10-6 record. The Dolphins got their guy, or so it seems, by selecting Tua Tagovailoa with the fifth pick in the draft. Some moves to bring in Byron Jones, Ereck Flowers, and many others, helped pave the way for Brian Flores to continue to build the culture shift in Miami. The front office has lots of cap space and draft picks to continue their ascension into a potential playoff team for the 2021 season.
The Philadelphia Eagles had a rough 2020 season. They have one of the worst cap situations in the NFL and will have to do a lot of maneuvering this offseason.
The 2020 NFL season was one of two halves for the Arizona Cardinals. Entering the offseason, the Cardinals are in a better cap position than most teams. However, they have several critical decisions to make.
