Quinton Dunbar is having himself quite the season.
Dunbar has quietly been a big bright spot for the Washington Redskins, even if it is hard to see through all the trying times.
Pro Football Focus has made a point to keep spotlighting Dunbar though by revealing he’s the team’s highest-graded player so far:
Dunbar has very quietly been one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks to start the 2019 NFL season. He ranks second in overall grade (88.0) and first in coverage grade (90.0) among qualifying cornerbacks. He also ranks tied for fourth in passer rating allowed (52.6) with three forced incompletions on the year.
Those are some gaudy numbers from Dunbar, though NFL teams seem to be getting the hint as they direct more attempts at other Redskins defenders.
So far, Dunbar has been targeted 41 times, with Josh Norman checking in higher.
If Dunbar keeps playing like this, teams will only continue to stop going at him.
