For the second year in a row, Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie was recognized as one of the top young players in the NFL on Monday.
McDuffie landed at No. 5 in Pro Football Focus' annual rankings of the top 25 players under the age of 25, which marked a significant jump after the 24-year-old cornerback checked in at No. 10 in last year's rankings.
Here's what the folks from PFF wrote about McDuffie:
"McDuffie went from being a top-five nickel cornerback in PFF overall grade for Steve Spagnuolo's defense in 2023 to a top-five outside cornerback in 2024. He is the NFL's highest-graded cornerback since 2023 (89.7).
McDuffie has earned an 89.4 PFF coverage grade since entering the league in 2022, which is a top-five mark among all cornerbacks and makes him the only one in the top 10 to have spent more than 25% of their career snaps in the slot."
