Rams feature two top-15 cornerbacks heading into 2026 NFL season

The Los Angeles Rams begin the 2026 NFL season with cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson ranked among the league's top 15 by Pro Football Focus. McDuffie is positioned at No. 4 overall, while Watson is at No. 15, following their offseason acquisitions. McDuffie, acquired from the Chiefs, had a notable 2025 season despite injury challenges, showcasing strong coverage and run defense. Watson, rejoining McDuffie from Kansas City, had career highs in tackles and interceptions last season. This improved talent bolsters a Rams secondary that struggled last season, enhancing their defensive stature heading into the new year.
