The modern NFL landscape is littered with multiple-receiver sets, explosive passing attacks and uptempo offenses. Naturally, finding elite pass defenders has become a priority.

It's no coincidence that two of the game's top cornerbacks, Darrelle Revis and Richard Sherman, appeared in this past Super Bowl.

However, today's cornerbacks and safeties are often asked to do more than deflect passes. They must also switch between zone and man coverages, jam receivers off the line, create turnovers, provide additional run support and even rush the passer on occasion.

This is precisely why some of the most successful defenses are designed around top-notch secondaries.

Which NFL team is likely to field the best secondary in 2015? This is a question we are going to try to answer here.

We ranked all 32 teams on the overall talent and depth of their secondaries. We placed emphasis on the ability to provide coverage and force turnovers, but we definitely didn't overlook a unit's ability to defend the run.
