Analysis:

Despite Verrett missing 10 games as a rookie, everyone around the Chargers believes that he will be an elite player. "He has the potential to be one of the top few corners in this league," said Philip Rivers of Verrett. "That's not to put added pressure on him, but he has been probably for me the most impressive guy on the field this offseason." Verrett had 19 tackles and one game-saving interception in the six games he played as a rookie, and more is expected in 2015.
