There are still 2 games left tonight, but as of now DeShawn Shead has PFF's highest grade among all NFL CB's in Week 1 with a near ridiculous grade of 90.7. A grade of 85+ is considered All-Pro level. It wasn't a small sample size either, as Shead started and played every defensive snap for the Seahawks. Nice job, DeShawn.
(FWIW, and perhaps quite surprisingly, Justin Britt and Garry Gilliam both had excellent grades in the upper 70s themselves)
PFF: When a cornerback comes out of a game with 53 snaps of action having allowed just 3 receiving yards, he has had a pretty good game. That’s exactly what Shead managed, breaking up one pass, laying a hit on Miami’s Arian Foster to break up another, and making a nice tackle for no gain on a receiver screen.
