The cornerbacks in general in Kansas City haven’t seen much love from the Madden developers this year. Contrary to popular belief Breeland is one of the better cornerbacks in the league. Our friends over at Touchdown Wire even recently named Breeland one of the best outside cornerbacks in the NFL heading into the 2020 season.
I take issue with Breeland’s man coverage rating which is 71 overall and his pursuit rating which is 66. Flashback to the Patriots game, playing in Foxboro, against a legendary duo in Tom Brady and Julian Edelman. Breeland is in man coverage in the red zone against Edelman with the game on the line. He doesn’t get a jab on Edelman at the line of scrimmage and pursues in close man coverage. He knocks the ball down for an incomplete and ices the game for Kansas City.
It’s too bad they don’t have a rating to reflect the ice in Breeland’s veins because that play was cold.
