Pat Surtain II Shares Witty Take on Riley Moss' Penalty Epidemic
Denver Broncos starting cornerback Riley Moss has drawn plenty of attention, both positive and critical. Despite being targeted often due to lining up opposite Patrick Surtain II, Moss has successfully defended against more than half the passes directed his way.
While Moss has accrued a high number of penalties, Surtain openly supports his teammate with a humorous perspective on the situation.
"I think they're racial profiling my dog, though, man," Surtain said on the Closed On Sundays podcast with co-host Terrion Arnold. "They're calling all these flags on my boy, man. I ain't going to lie; the flags is egregious."
Surtain's remark was made in jest, lightly addressing the unusual presence of white cornerbacks in the modern NFL. Riley Moss and Cooper DeJean, both former Iowa players, stand out in this regard.
The topic of "white cornerbacks" was discussed extensively when the Broncos drafted Moss. Head coach Sean Payton was often asked about the comparisons between Moss and former New York Giants cornerback Jason Sehorn, who was notable for his unique profile.
Summary
Patrick Surtain II humorously defends Riley Moss’ penalty record while highlighting the rarity of white cornerbacks like Moss and Cooper DeJean in today’s NFL.
