A.J. Bouye

CB, Houston Texans

Marcus Peters is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, and some may argue that he could be the latest edition of Darrelle Revis. He is a shutdown corner, and teams just do not try to throw his way on Sundays. The impact that he has on the game cannot be understated, and he is a main reason why the team won the AFC West this past season.

While the Chiefs do boast one of the best in the game at corner, the fact is he needs some help. They just do not have the depth needed to stop really good passing teams, so bringing in a guy like A.J. Bouye of the Houston Texans makes perfect sense. Bouye really emerged late last season during the Texans run to the Divisional Round, and some team is going to throw him a bunch of money to be their top corner in 2017.

The best part about Bouye is that he can pretty much do it all from the cornerback position. He has great coverage skills, and his ability to come up and make a big hit really separates him from a lot of the cornerbacks in this league. I think he is really just starting to scratch the surface of his potential, and signing with the Chiefs to play with Peters would be a great decision for him this early in his career.
