The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., has nothing but good things to say about former U.S. marine Liz (Girlrilla) Carmouche ahead of their co-main event Wednesday on the UFCs "Fight for the Troops" televised card in Fort Campbell, Ky. 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.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 conveersion failed and Denver hung on -- and then, of course, won the Super Bowl. Josh Manson Ducks Jersey. 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 ' ' '
