"Mentally, he's been the No. 1 cornerback since he got here, if you ask him," safety Malcolm Jenkins said, adding a chuckle. "In his mind, he should have been a first- or second-round draft pick. That's how he thinks of himself. He wants to cover the best receiver every week. That's his mindset and it is one of his biggest weapons. His ability to compete and his desire and his willingness to prepare, that's where his confidence comes from. He's a No. 1 corner now, but he'll be a dominant corner in this game as he gets older."
