With seven weeks in the books of the college football season, and a bevy of talk of draft-eligible quarterbacks on a week-to-week basis, we at PFF shift the focus those players who’s job it is to defend against quarterbacks. Cornerbacks are measured often times on the amount of interceptions they obtain over the course of a season, however with the advanced PFF coverage statistics at our hands, we take it a bit further than just interceptions. These 2018 draft-eligible cornerbacks have defended against the pass the best, in terms of passer rating when targeted through seven weeks of the NCAA season:

1. Levi Wallace, Alabama



Coverage snaps/completion %/passer rating: 206/29.0%/0.7

Alabama always has physically-gifted and technically sound cornerbacks and this year is no different. Wallace predominantly lines-up on the left side of the Alabama defense and has an impressive coverage stat line of only nine catches on 30 targets for 95 yards with three interceptions. Most impressively however, is Wallace’s impact on a quarterback’s performance as the passer rating when throwing into Wallace’s coverage is what appears to be a typo at only 0.7, a mark which ranks him No. 1 among all FBS draft-eligible cornerbacks and a firm hold at the top of this list.
