Secondary

Cornerback: Jimmy Butler – He’s one of the best one-on-one defenders in the league and why would we expect anything different on the football field? Butler is tenacious, fast, has good hands, and won’t back down from any matchup.

Stick Butler on the A.J. Greens and Odell Beckhams of the world. He can’t look any more ridiculous than most NFL corners do against those guys.

Cornerback: Eric Bledsoe – The Suns guard has the speed to keep up with any wide receivers. He also has the toughness needed to match the physicality of the game. Watch out if Bledsoe comes away with an interception, he’s more than capable of busting free for a pick-six.

Free Safety: Marcus Smart – We know Smart has a bit of a temper. He keeps up the intensity as long as he is on the court, or in this case, the field. It’s not hard to picture Smart laying out receivers who think they have an easy catch coming over the middle.

Strong Safety: Matt Barnes – There’s not much of an explanation needed for this. Barnes actually was a highly-touted receiver in high school, but for some reason, it seems like he’d fit in better when it comes to hard hits and tackling.

With guys like Barnes, Garnett, Randolph, and Butler, this defense won’t back down from anyone.
