Trent's best number is passer rating allowed: 38, 1st of 96 among cornerbacks.
Written from his numbers, not from film. 4 games are behind the season figures.
Every graded stat at a glance, against all the cornerbacks in the league.
Left is the worst at his job, right is the best, and the line down the middle is average. The bubble is his percentile: 90 means better than nine in ten qualifying cornerbacks. Faded bars are still small samples.
Where he has ranked among cornerbacks after each week, and every game behind it.
Season rank holding near the 100th percentile since Wk 1.
The line is his season-to-date rank among players at his position after each week, from 100 (the best) to 0 (the worst). It rises when he passes other players, not when he has one big game. Early weeks are noisier because fewer plays are behind them. The shaded weeks are the recent stretch.
| Week | Opponent | That game | targets | Season rank after |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | vs SF | 3.8 | 6 | 97th pct |
| 2 | vs NYG | 0.8 | 6 | 96th pct |
| 3 | vs DEN | 1.5 | 6 | 100th pct |
| 4 | vs PHI | 1.7 | 3 | 100th pct |
Lower is better for this stat. One game is a small sample: a single stat over 5 targets can swing on a handful of plays. Shaded rows are the recent stretch.
Each one against every cornerback with at least 10 targets. Right on the strip is better.

Tendencies: how his game differs from the cornerbacks around him. These are not better or worse, only different, and often say as much about the offense or defense he plays in as about him.
8.2 yds
Is thrown at underneath, more than most cornerbacks. A typical one is 10.6 yds.
How far downfield the passes thrown at him travel on average. It shows whether he is tested deep or underneath, which is a role, not a grade.
He has played in 4 of his team's 4 games with snap counts, on the field for about 100% of the team's defensive plays when he plays.
Each column is a game: the share of his team's defensive snaps he played. 80% means about 8 of every 10 plays. “Out” means he did not play; a question mark means snap counts are not posted yet. Shaded games are the recent stretch.
Every game this season: how it ended for his team, how much he played, his box score, and the advanced numbers from that one game. One game is a small sample, so read the right-hand columns as a snapshot, not his level.
