Ranking the leagues best cornerbacks has become a popular exercise, but one of the players who often appears on those lists decided to flip the script a bit. Fjallraven Kanken Big Ox Red/Beige Backpack .In a column for The Players Tribune, the Denver Broncos?cornerback?Chris Harris Jr. ranked the five toughest receivers hes covered in his six-year career.At the top of the list is New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who Harris called not a stereotypical tight end, noting he has the route-running ability and hands of a wide receiver.Harris went on to provide a more detailed breakdown of how to defend the big tight end:The best way to defend him is to not let him get started. You gotta put hands on him early so he has to stop and start again. The thing is, you cant go overboard and play too physical. Because the officials are gonna let Gronk play football. You dont want to get into a wrestling match with him. When you bump him, you have to keep him at arms length. If you get too aggressive and get up in his face, hes going to use the 50-50 battle to push off on you, and then youre in trouble.Harris knows Gronks skills all too well after shadowing him in the second half of last years AFC Championship Game while the Broncos battled injuries at safety. Despite double-team help for Harris, Gronkowski beat the cornerback?for 40 yards on fourth-and-10 on New Englands last-minute drive, and again for a touchdown four plays later. That TD could have tied the game, but the two-point conversion failed and Denver hung on -- and then, of course, won the Super Bowl.Another of the few players to give Harris trouble last season also made his list: Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Antonio Brown. Last season, Brown broke Harris two-year streak of not allowing a TD in man coverage, posting?16 catches for 189 yards and a pair of scores in a Week 15 meeting in Pittsburgh.Harris called Brown the best pure route runner in the league before elaborating:Let me explain what I mean by great route runner. Its not exactly like Madden. Route running is an art, not a science. A lot of wide receivers, they always run their routes at 100% speed. As a DB, that allows you to get a feel for how you need to play them. But Antonio changes up his speed so that you never know what his tempo is going to be coming in and out of his cuts. Its kind of like in basketball when a point guard uses a little hesitation crossover to freeze the defender before exploding to the hoop.Rounding out Harris list: the Indianapolis Colts T.Y. Hilton, Houston Texans DeAndre Hopkins and Cincinnati Bengals A.J. Green. Notably absent from the list is Atlanta Falcons wideout Julio Jones, whom Harris and the Broncos faced last week, but the omission seems reasonable after Jones caught just 2 of 6 targets for 29 yards in the game.--?David DeChant Fjallraven Kanken Classic Ox Red Backpack .

"I think everybody was kind of watching," catcher David Ross said. "Demp (Ryan Dempster) came out before he went to the bullpen and was just yelling that they lost. http:///...anken-big-black.html .Y. - Detroit goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has earned NHL first star of the week honours after winning in his first three appearances of the season. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. -- On a night when the Air Force defense was battered and burned, linebacker Grant Ross turned in the biggest play of the game.To think, he nearly got ejected in the first half for a targeting penalty.Tim McVey scored four touchdowns, Ross forced a late fumble and Air Force held off Colorado State 49-46 on Saturday in the highest-scoring game of the rivalry.Colorado State receiver Michael Gallup hauled in a pass to convert a first down with around 1:25 remaining, only to have the ball stripped away by Ross and recovered by safety Brodie Hicks to seal the win for the Falcons (7-3, 3-3 Mountain West).We finally figured something out on the final quarter of the final drive, Hicks said. It ended up helping win the game.There was a nervous moment for the Falcons just before halftime when Ross hit Colorado State QB Nick Stevens in the chest on a play that produced an interception by Jesse Washington. The official flagged him for targeting. The replay booth reversed the call and the penalty was nullified.When I saw the replay, I saw I backed off on (the hit), Ross explained. Thats why they didnt throw me out.Im glad (the game) was on us (at the end). The offense played their guts out. The other team played their guts out. Thats just how it came out. Thats how we like it.McVey gained 184 of Air Forces season-high 485 yards rushing. He nearly had a fifth touchdown, but fumbled into the end zone where offensive lineman Dylan Vail pounced on it.The two teams combined for 1,093 total yards, four turnovers and just two punts -- both by Air Force. The 95 combined points surpassed the old mark of 84 in the series set in 2000. The Falcons lead the all-time series 33-21-1 over the Rams (5-5, 3-3).They made their fair share of plays, Colorado State coach Mike Bobo said. We didnt do the things that we needed to do.Stevens finished with 374 yards passing and two TDs. His favorite target was Gallup , who hauled in 13 passes for 213 yards. The Rams never punted, but missed two field goals, failed to convert on a fourth down and turned it over twice.Air Forcee sophomore Arion Worthman stepped in again at quarterback with senior Nate Romine bothered by a sore ankle. Fjallraven Kanken Classic Warm Yellow Backpack. Worthman rushed for 143 yards, including a 54-yard scamper for a score.Stevens pulled the Rams to within a field goal, 49-46, when he found Gallup for a 7-yard score and a two-point conversion with 6:43 remaining. Colorado States defense held and Air Force had to punt. A few plays later, Gallup fumbled trying to break away from Ross.Michael had a heck of a game and hes hurting about the fumble, Bobo said. But hes going to learn from this and were going to learn from this as a team.THE TAKEAWAYColorado State: The Rams turned in plenty of big plays with Dalyn Dawkins breaking off a 61-yard TD run and defensive back Justin Sweet returning an interception 27 yards for a score. Colorado State remains a win away from bowl eligibility.Air Force: Another game, another trophy. A week after wrapping up the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy last, the Falcons took home the Ram-Falcon Trophy. That particular keepsake has gone to the winner since 1980.EARLY PRESENTMcVey insisted he now doesnt owe Vail a holiday gift. He already gave him one courtesy of that touchdown. McVey weaved his way through the defense for a 38-yard gain, only to get hit at the 4 by Colorado States Kevin Davis and lose the ball bouncing into the end zone. There was a hustling Vail to fall on it.Dylan came up to me after the play and said, `I was coming up on you, you have to move a little faster, McVey said, grinning. All right Dylan, way to cover me. It was great.This wasnt the first TD for Vail. He said he scored in a similar manner during his high school days in Texas.UP NEXTColorado State: The Rams play their final football game at Hughes Stadium on Saturday against New Mexico. Colorado State will move into a $220 million on-campus stadium in 2017.Air Force: Travels to San Jose State next Saturday.---www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
