36. Jason McCourty, CB

Jason McCourty has enjoyed success teaming up with his brother, Devin, on the New England Patriots. The 31-year-old tied his career high in pass breakups this season (11) while allowing a 59.4 reception percentage after being targeted 96 times in 2018. He finished the regular season with 70 tackles and one interception.

McCourty arrived in New England after a trade with the Cleveland Browns in hopes of replacing the departed Malcolm Butler. He started 12 games for the Patriots in 2018, while being active for all 16.

The free agent cornerback market in 2019 lacks big-name players, so this bodes well for McCourty’s camp. Teams in need of cornerback help like the Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins could be interested in his services.
