Top rated cornerbacks in Madden NFL 16
There's probably only one position that rivals quarterbacks when it comes to the ferocity of debates over the best players in the NFL. Due in large part to the arguments the actual players have had in recent years, with several staking a claim to the label, cornerbacks have taken over some of the spotlight generally reserved for the offensive side of the ball.
