The cornerback's primary job is to defend against the opposing team's wide receivers, preventing them from catching passes. They do this by using a combination of speed, agility, and technique to stay close to the receiver and disrupt their routes. Cornerbacks also play a crucial role in tackling and supporting the run defense when necessary. Additionally, they may be responsible for covering players in zone or man-to-man coverage schemes.
In 2009, the two starting cornerbacks for the Eagles were Asante Samuel and Sheldon Brown.

Anybody but it s normally cornerbacks, safety's, or linebackers
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.
In 2009, the starting cornerbacks were Ike Taylor and William Gay. The Steelers brought back former starter Bryant McFadden, who will compete against William Gay for the starting job at cornerback in 2010.
