These claims are ridiculous. I don't have the '17 numbers yet but
In 2015 Dre played 97% of the snaps on a defense that finished ranked 5th in the league in pass efficiency. Of the 75 CBs that qualified for the stats compiled by ProFootballOutsiders Dre ranked 18th in yards per target allowed, 32nd in success rate (formula based on stats), and top 25 in completion percentage allowed.
In 2016 Dre played 94% of the snaps for a team that again finished 5th in pass efficiency. He ranked 5th in the league in yds per play and 18th success rate yet.
I am betting that the '17 numbers will also place Dre solidly among the top 20 CBs in the league. Considering that 32 NFL teams now play 3 CBs on a majority of snaps that is a pretty good ranking.
