Fan poll: How many INTs will Dolphins CB Xavien Howard log in 2019?

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard is currently one of the best ball-hawking cornerback in the NFL. With 11 interceptions and 21 passes defensed in his last 17 football games, it is no wonder the Dolphins were so eager to get Howard locked in — especially at a rate that pays him premium dollar but does so without compromising the long-term cap situation of the team.

Is this level of production sustainable? Since 1950, only 20 NFL defenders have successfully logged more than 10 interceptions and 20 passes defensed in the 2nd and 3rd years of their careers combined. That list, which includes Xavien Howard, also features names like:

• Ravens FS Ed Reed (16 INT/32 passes defensed)
• Seahawks CB Richard Sherman (16 INT/40 passes defensed)
• Chargers CB Antonio Cromartie (12 INT/27 passes defensed)
• Jets CB Darrelle Revis (11 INT/47 passes defensed)
• Bucs CB Aqib Talib (11 INT/26 passes defensed)
• Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson (10 INT/29 passes defended)

If Howard can continue his production on the field, he’ll solidify his standing among the upper echelon of cornerbacks with his ball production. Does he do it? How many interceptions do you think Xavien Howard will log during the 2019 NFL regular season?
