He finished '17 ranked 6th in the league among CBs in yards per target (4.9).
Not saying he is an elite shut down corner, but he is among the better CBs in the league. Check out his numbers compared to First Team All Pro Aqib Talib
Dre - 4.9 yards per pass, 1.4 YAC, 68 targets, 10 passes defended, 3 INT, 35 tackles, 11 tackle assists, 46 total tackles
Talib - 4.3 yards per pass, 1.4 YAC, 58 targets, 12 passes defended, 3 INT, 32 tackles, 11 tackle assists, 43 total tackles
Kirkpatrick is one of those players who has usually been grossly underrated by many Bengal fans.
