Speaking of playmaking ability, the Dallas Cowboys cornerbacks have certainly left their mark in that aspect.
Moreover, the Cowboys have the only All-Pro cornerback duo in these rankings. Trevon Diggs made the list of elite players in 2021, and DaRon Bland did it last year. Both earned recognition by forcing turnovers at a jaw-dropping rate.
In 2021, Diggs led the NFL in interceptions with 11, returning two for touchdowns, and he logged 21 pass breakups. He followed that up with a 2022 Pro Bowl campaign, registering three interceptions and 14 pass breakups.
In Week 2 of the previous season, the 25-year-old tore his ACL, but Bland continued his ascension among the league's top cornerbacks.
Bland recorded a league-leading nine interceptions and etched his name into record books with the most pick-sixes (five) in a single season.
Bland, 24, isn't just a highlight playmaker, though. Between his rookie and second-year terms, he saw significant improvement in his allowed completion rate (71.4 to 59.5 percent) and passer rating (82.2 to 60.8).
Dallas should be the favorite to lead the league in interceptions and pick-sixes with Diggs and Bland on the field together in 2024.
Though the Cowboys have lost defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, new play-caller Mike Zimmer should be able to get the best out of Diggs and Bland.
Zimmer hasn't coached since the Minnesota Vikings fired him after the 2021 campaign, but his team's defenses finished within the top 10 in takeaways for the 2019 and 2020 terms.
Under Zimmer, Diggs and Bland could break multiple records, which is why they're the No. 1 cornerback duo.
