When asked how many cornerbacks other than Revis were better than him?
Cromartie answered, “None.”
Cromartie was asked if he was the second-best corner in the NFL?
“Yup.”
Asked again, he said.
“Yup.”
When asked he is believed that that?
“Yup.”
This season, Cromartie has nine tackles and one interception.
“My job is not to be like Revis,” Cromartie said. “My job is to be Antonio Cromartie. I’m supposed to be me. And I’m going to continue to be me. “I have said that I’m the second-best corner in the NFL. I’m not backing off what I said. I don’t care what anyone else believes... It’s my confidence in myself. I know what I’m capable of when I'm at the top of my game.".
