PFF Cornerback Rankings: Top 32 ahead of the 2025 NFL season (6. D.J. Reed, Detroit Lions:  Reed has yet to become a household name at the position despite excellent play for several seasons. His PFF advanced coverage grade over the past two years ranks fifth, while his 89.3 standard PFF coverage grade ranks 12th.  Reed has put together six straight seasons of earning a 70.0-plus PFF overall grade.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-cornerback-rankings-top-32-ahead-of-2025-nfl-season

2025 NFL All-Paid Team: Saquon Barkley, Dak Prescott headline top earners by position (RT Penei Sewell - AVERAGE PER YEAR: $28 million.  Could Dan Campbell’s first draft pick in Detroit be a better fit for the philosophy of his program? A mauler who was selected seventh overall in 2021, Sewell has already established himself as one of the league’s elite offensive linemen, earning a Pro Bowl nod in each of his last three seasons and All-Pro honors in each of the last two. Sewell, who was voted No. 22 by his peers in the Top 100 Players of 2024, signed a four-year, $112 million extension in 2024.  S Kerby Joseph - AVERAGE PER YEAR: $21.5 million.  Joseph has been a ballhawk since he first set foot on an NFL field, becoming the first safety since Hall of Famer Ed Reed to pick off at least four passes in each of his first three seasons. His 17 career picks are the most by any player since he was drafted in 2022. Last season he led the league with nine interceptions and allowed a 29.2 passer rating (one pass TD, nine INTs) in coverage, per Next Gen Stats -- a quarterback who threw every pass into the stands would be able to calculate a better passer rating (39.6). The Lions did not make Joseph wait to reap the benefits of his labor, signing him to a four-year, $86 million extension in April. Although the contract did make Joseph the NFL’s highest-paid safety by APY, his guarantees and cashflows leave something to be desired. His $24.4 million fully guaranteed at signing is 10th among safeties, while his two- and three-year cash flows rank outside that threshold.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-all-paid-team-saquon-barkley-dak-prescott-headline-top-earners-by-position
