3. CB Trayvon Mullen
Don’t look now, but second-year cornerback Trayvon Mullen is quickly becoming one of the league’s best press-man cornerbacks. According to Pro Football Focus, Mullen has allowed the fourth-fewest yards per snap heading into Week 5. He’s allowed only nine completions for 76 yards this season and teams are quickly learning to avoid the former Clemson Tiger.
If Mullen can improve in the run game and start to create takeaways, there is nothing preventing him from becoming the best cornerback in the league. He is the perfect scheme for his skillset and his confidence is rising by the play.
Week 5 will be a big test for Mullen as he will likely see a significant amount of snaps against Tyreek Hill.
