Best Answer

Cornerbacks play in the defensive secondary and are primarily responsible for covering the wide receiver. In the standard defense, two cornerbacks are on the field, playing on opposite sides of the field. They need to be fast enough to run with receivers and physical enough to make the tackle if the pass is completed. Having good hands is another key attribute; cornerbacks typically lead the team in interceptions.
