Jets’ Antonio Cromartie Thinks He’s the Best Cornerback in the NFL

Antonio Cromartie September 2012

New York Jets‘ Antonio Cromartie is one confident person. Earlier in the season, Cromartie dubbed himself the “second-best wide receiver” on the Jets roster behind Santonio Holmes. And now, Cromartie is labeling himself as the best cornerback in the NFL.

It is funny, though, since his teammate Darrelle Revis is considered the best in the league. However, Cromartie thinks it’s no contest between the other cornerbacks.

He told the New York Daily News that there were “none,” including Nnamdi Asomugha of the Philadelphia Eagles. Besides Revis, Cromartie thinks he’s better than everyone else in the league. And if it weren’t for Revis being his teammate, he would be dubbing himself as a much much higher rank than his teammate.

“I have said that I’m the second-best corner in the NFL,” he reportedly said. “I’m not backing off what I said. I don’t care what anyone else believe… I know what I’m capable of when I’m at the top of my game.”

And with Revis most likely out for this season with a torn ACL, Cromartie can wave that flag proudly of himself saying he’s the best defensive back in the league…at least in his world.
