Antonio Cromartie can say he's the best cornerback in the NFL, but he doesn't "truly feel that way" because he'll admit Jets teammate Darrelle Revis is the top corner in the game.

What about Richard Sherman, the outspoken and talented corner for the Seahawks?

"I'd tell him to go play in a defense where you don't have two All-Pro safeties," Cromartie, the Jets cornerback, said in an interview with Sirius XM NFL Radio on Tuesday at a broadcast boot camp at NFL Films in Mount Laurel. "I would tell him, 'Go follow the No. 1 receiver.' Follow him around for a whole entire game, and let's see what you can do."

Cromartie wasn't done.

"Darrelle Revis has done that his whole career. I've done that, [the Cardinals'] Patrick Peterson has done it, [the Browns'] Joe Haden's done it," Cromartie said. "[Sherman] is the only defensive back that hasn't. So, there's no point in critiquing him. It's saying, if you want to label yourself as the No. 1 corner, or the best corner in the NFL, follow the best guy on every single team."

Cromartie still wasn't done.

"And [Sherman's] whole thing will be, 'Well we don't have to do that. I've got my trust on the other corner on the other side,'" Cromartie said. "That's not the point. If you want to consider yourself the best, the best do what the best do—they follow around the best."
