4. A.J. Terrell

Terrell has been far from the elite corner he was last year through the first two weeks of the season. Whether it was against Cooper Kupp or Michael Thomas, Terrell has struggled in man coverage early on this season and needs a bounce-back game. While the road won’t get any easier with great receivers in Seattle A.J. is far too great to continue to struggle to the level he has early this season.

Terrell is a top-ten corner in this league who is simply going through a rough two games to start the season. Even the best corner in football (Jalen Ramsey) has gone through times of getting consistently beaten and learning to change and adjust his game.

Corner is one of the toughest positions to play in the league with all the rules benefitting the receiver and quarterback. Terrell is still an elite corner but he must remind the league of this with a bounceback game in week three.
