Pat Surtain II has emerged as a standout cornerback for the Denver Broncos, earning the title of Best Coverage Defender in the NFL for the 2024 season. His exceptional performance included an impressive 87.4 coverage grade and a mere 0.53 yards allowed per cover snap, making him a central figure in the Broncos' defensive transformation.
Throughout the 2024 campaign, quarterbacks largely avoided targeting Surtain, who was only thrown at 52 times, yet he still managed to secure four interceptions, ranking second in the league with a 7.7% interception rate. His contributions were pivotal in shifting the Broncos' defense from a liability to one of the league’s best.
