PFF lists Bradberry as a “Buyer Beware” player

Despite the very obvious success Bradberry has had throughout his career, particularly in man coverage as we’ve addressed, analytics website Pro Football Focus still views him relatively far down their list.

They had Bradberry listed as the seventh-best cornerback in free agency and tagged him with the dreaded “buyer beware.”

Bradberry is one of the biggest “buyer beware” free agents this year. Bradberry has failed to eclipse a 65.0 coverage grade in each of the last three seasons, and he was 62nd at his position in terms of PFF WAR last year.

We don’t know about you, but we’ll take the ironclad results (see a few slides earlier) over an independent grade any time.
