Patrick Surtain II is voted the NFL’s top cornerback for a second consecutive year in a preseason poll by The Associated Press. Multiple reports say the Denver Broncos defensive back earns the recognition again after being selected as the league’s leading cornerback the prior year. The AP vote reflects Surtain’s standout performance and individual honors accumulated over five NFL seasons. According to the sources, Surtain has been selected to four Pro Bowls and has earned All-Pro recognition first-team twice and second-team once. One report adds that he was the seventh cornerback to win AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, receiving the award after the 2024 season. With the latest AP preseason selection, he continues to be regarded as the league’s top player at the cornerback position heading into the new season.
