	Cornerback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A cornerback (also referred to as a corner) is a position in American and Canadian football, more broadly classified as a defensive back.
		Essential skills for a cornerback include backpedaling, jumping, staying with his man, anticipating a pass route and reading the quarterback.
		In this case, the corner must always stay downfield of whoever it is covering while still remaining in its zone, always between the sideline and the opposing wide receiver.

	Wikinfo \| Cornerback
		Cornerback is a defensive position in American football.
		On the defense, the cornerback is a member of the secondary.
		While football coaches can dictate any role for a defensive player, cornerbacks are often charged with "covering" the opposition wide receiver--that is, preventing the other team from catching the ball in a pass.

	Defensive back - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It should be noted that "defensive back" is a collective term for several other positions, which include cornerbacks, as well as strong safeties and free safeties.
		Cornerbacks (CB) position themselves at the line of scrimmage, directly opposite to the wide receivers.
		Occasionally, one of the cornerbacks may be required to abandon their coverage of a receiver, and instead surprise the offense by rushing the quarterback.

		Such displays of emotion are not permissible in the NFL, which is why the officials penalized the fourth-year cornerback for his unnecessary celebration.

		Scott is one of the biggest cornerbacks in the NFL, and he uses his size to take on blockers and running backs near the line of scrimmage.

		The Minnesota Vikings lifted the transition designation on cornerback Brian Williams after a recalculation of the one-year tender based on changes in the new collective bargaining agreement.
		Because the tenders were so high last year for cornerbacks -- $8.816 million for a franchised cornerback and $6.938 for a transitioned cornerback -- the tenders for this year increased considerably from what teams expected ($5.89 million for a franchised cornerback and $4.77 million for a transitioned cornerback).
		Williams, a nickel cornerback, would have made significantly more than the one-year tender of $4.77 million he was initially offered.

	In a New York minute: SU cornerback/secondary coach Jim Salgado quickly worked his way up the coaching ladder - Sports
		Now, he's coaching the Orange's defensive backs, focusing on a cornerback group that has two senior starters - Tanard Jackson and Terrell Lemon - and three interceptions in four games while serving as a crucial part of the defense's early success.
		There are three players in the secondary who converted from offense to defense this season - safeties Bruce Williams and Joe Fields and cornerback Nick Chestnut - which makes coaching that much more important.
		And it's helpful that Salgado is the one helping the transition, considering the young coach specializes in relating to his players.

		If he screws that assignment up, he's at least supposed to make sure the wide receiver doesn't actually catch it.
