His play in 2020 was a big part of why we were so dominant that year. A cb1 being able to shut down an entire side of the field in Pete Golding's defense is pretty significant.

I feel like he was underappreciated a bit in college because he was so good he didn't get tested very often.

This pretty much covers it:
quote:
According to Next Gen Stats, Surtain was targeted on only 10.9% of his coverage snaps this season -- the lowest rate among 83 cornerbacks with 300 or more coverage snaps.
Surtain also didn't allow receivers to catch many of those targets. He gave up only 306 receiving yards as the nearest defender across 516 coverage snaps, translating to 0.6 yards per coverage snap, which was the second-fewest among the same group of cornerbacks.
And Surtain wasn't just covering anybody. He was going against the best of the best virtually every time out. He guarded the likes of DK Metcalf, Mike Evans, Garrett Wilson, Jakobi Meyers, Jerry Jeudy, Ja’Marr Chase and more -- and Surtain didn't allow more than 50 receiving yards in a single game this season.
