David Amerson Top Rated Player in Week 3

According to ProFootballFocus.com, former NC State All-American Cornerback David Amerson, who is now a member of the Oakland Raiders, produced the best individual performance of any player in the NFL in Week 3. Here’s what they had to say about his performance:

David Amerson, CB, Oakland Raiders
You won’t find a better cornerback performance that didn’t involve an interception than the show put on by David Amerson this week against Tennessee. Thrown at 11 times, Amerson allowed just four catches for 38 yards, and broke up five of the incompletions. In total, a third of Titans QB Marcus Mariota’s pass attempts were sent Amerson’s way, but Amerson yielded only 17.8 percent of the yardage while breaking up those passes. It’s hard to think it isn’t that long ago that he was run out of Washington due to his poor play there. (PFF)

PFF gave him a grade of 97.3 for the game, and through three weeks, he is the #1 rated cornerback in the NFL.
