Marshon Lattimore (35-1)
Having a true cover corner that a team can leave on the boundary to guard any receiver they choose is a luxury the Bears haven’t had since Charles Tillman left. They can be so valuable to the success of a defense. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio knows this, which is why the team has invested so much in corners over the past couple months.
Marshon Lattimore though is more talented than all of them. He’s a freak athlete with size, speed, and quickness who can stay in the hip pocket of any receiver he lines up against. So why no love? Health concerns. Lattimore had hamstring problems during his time at Ohio State. Given the problems Chicago had with injuries last year, this isn’t a risk they’ll be willing to take.
