"With Revis out, I'm the best Corner in the NFL"-Cromartie

[Street Knowledge]

Antonio Cromartie raised some eyebrows this year when he proclaimed himself the second-best receiver on the Jets. But his confidence in his abilities as a cornerback exceeds his confidence in his abilities as a receiver.

Cromartie told Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News that with Darrelle Revis out for the year with a torn ACL, Cromartie is not just the Jets’ top cornerback: He’s the best cornerback in the entire league.

“I have said that I’m the second-best corner in the NFL,” Cromartie said. “I’m not backing off what I said. I don’t care what anyone else believe. . . . It’s my confidence in myself. I know what I’m capable of when I’m at the top of my game.”

Cromartie said he believes he’s off to an excellent start this season, and is now ready to take over Revis’s job of covering the best receiver on the field.

“I think I’ve been playing at a Pro Bowl level so far,” Cromartie said.

He’ll have to be, for the Jets’ defense to avoid falling apart without the guy who really is the best cornerback in the NFL.

Agreed.

While he has committed 5 penalties, the 39% of throws into his coverage Antonio Cromartie has allowed is lowest of all cornerbacks - PFF

this revis injury might be a blessing in disguise if he comes back healthy and same as ever. his absence's pushing cro to perfect his craft and once Revis comes back, he might actually challenge Revis like : "you'll have to earn your spot back as the best CB on this team"

Yeah.

I'm really proud of Cro (wish he didn't drop that Brady INT).

The coaches showed him tape of last season where he came up on a man and put his hands on him at the LOS and he only gave up about ten catches total.

He's focused.
