Is This NFL Star a Quarterback or Cornerback?

Richard Sherman's career seemed to be derailed after he tore his Achilles tendon in 2017. However, he returned to form, or an approximation to it, in 2019 and even earned his fifth Pro Bowl selection.

Despite only recording four interceptions in 2019, Quinton Dunbar was a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks who averaged a dismal 68.4 passer rating against him. But even with the stellar play, Dunbar wasn't named to the Pro Bowl.

Lamar Jackson took the NFL by storm in 2019 when he set the NFL rushing record for a quarterback by rushing for 1,206 yards on 6.9 yards per carry. That, combined with his 43 total touchdowns, helped him earn the NFL MVP.

At 41 years old, Drew Brees is definitely beyond his prime, but that doesn't mean he isn't still one of the best quarterbacks in the league. After all, Brees played at such a high level that even in decline, he's able to complete 74.3 percent of his passes.

After reaching the AFC Championship Game at the end of the 2018 season, Patrick Mahomes helped his team reach the Super Bowl the following year. His regular-season numbers weren't quite as spectacular in 2019, but he still threw for over 4,000 yards with a passer rating of 105.3.

Stephon Gilmore is one of the few NFL corners who can accept an assignment against just about any receiver and deliver without help around him. His skill set as a lockdown defender helped the New England Patriots' defense put up some of the best numbers in the league.

Critics often classify Russell Wilson as nothing more than a game manager who relies on his weapons and defense to win games. However, he's been much more than that for the Seattle Seahawks, as he always makes plays when called upon and has one of the best passer ratings since he entered the NFL.

Marcus Peters is one of those cornerbacks who's always thinking one step ahead. His forward-thinking has led to five interceptions in the 2019 NFL season, three of which he returned for touchdowns.

A defender known for his man-to-man coverage, Casey Hayward Jr. has the awareness and speed to stay attached to a receiver's hip. Always in the position to make a play, Hayward only allowed 26 completions in the 47 times that he was targeted in 2019.

Deshaun Watson was an electrifying player at Clemson before he entered the 2017 NFL Draft, where the Houston Texans took him in the first round. In college, Watson was a two-time Heisman Trophy finalist and delivered a national championship to the Tigers in 2016.

After several up and down seasons with the Miami Dolphins, Ryan Tannehill was traded to the Tennessee Titans in 2019. Initially, he was supposed to sit on the bench behind Marcus Mariota, but Tannehill was given the starting job in Week 7 and never looked back.

Kirk Cousins had to make some adjustments in 2019 to get his teammates behind him, but once everyone was on the same page, Cousins was able to lead the Minnesota Vikings to the playoffs. They even got a win against the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card round before losing to the San Francisco 49ers.

A four-time Pro Bowler and NFL MVP, Matt Ryan has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL since he entered the league in 2008. However, the one thing the veteran quarterback has yet to capture is a championship.

Prescott didn't disappoint his rookie season, earning a place in the Pro Bowl while also leading the Cowboys to the playoffs.

Despite his age, Jaire Alexander is always up for a challenge, often accepting the task of guarding the other team's top wide receiver. He hasn't disappointed in that role, allowing opposing quarterbacks a 53.6 completion percentage in 2019.

Entering the league in 2017, Marlon Humphrey made his first Pro Bowl in 2019 while playing for the Baltimore Ravens. Humphrey is particularly good on throws beyond 10 yards, as he excels at reading double moves.

No player in NFL history has won more Super Bowls than Tom Brady, who currently has six titles. Three of those championships were won in the last six years when Brady was over 35 years old, which is typically when a player begins to decline.

Even though it took Jimmy Garoppolo a few seasons to get his first start, he was able to win his first seven games as a starter when he finally moved up the depth chart. However, he wouldn't start every regular-season game until 2019, the same year he led the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl.

Shaquill Griffin was one of the few bright spots for the Seattle Seahawks' secondary during the 2019 season. Seattle's defense was 27th in passing yards allowed, but Griffin remained consistent all year, earning a place in the Pro Bowl for the first time.

Derek Carr has been a star for the Oakland Raiders ever since he entered the NFL in 2014. He holds several career records for the franchise, including passing yards, passing completions and completion percentage.
