All of the numbers paint Quinton Dunbar as a Top-3 cornerback in the NFL

Pro Football Focus has Dunbar ranked as the top-rated corner in the league, and the stats don’t disagree.

Don’t look now, but Washington Redskins’ cornerback Quinton Dunbar has been putting up some eye-popping numbers this season.

Though his team is down in the dumps and there is much turmoil with the franchise, the Redskins’ defense has quietly gotten a bit better each game this season, and one of the main reasons why has been Dunbar’s play.

According to Pro Football Focus, Dunbar ranks in the top-5 of the NFL when it comes to coverage grade (89.9), interceptions (4), and passer rating when targeted (44.9). He also has the highest overall PFF grade when it comes to CBs with more than 200 snaps.

So is Dunbar one of the best pass-defenders in the entire league? He sure isn’t treated like it, but the numbers don’t lie. Washington has a real gem on the outside, and they’d better hold onto him going forward.
