Cobie Durant

PDs by year: 5 → 6 → 10 → 14. A pure linear breakout into a top-tier coverage corner.

Durant's career arc on PDs is one of the cleanest growth curves in the league at corner: 5 → 6 → 10 → 14, each year a new career high. The 4th-round pick out of South Carolina State has spent every snap of his career in a Rams uniform, and the role has only expanded.

2025: 14 PDs — #2 on the entire Rams defense, behind only Jaylen McCollough.

The Rams secondary is PD-heavy across the board in 2025 (their top-3 corners are all in double digits), and Durant is the #2 producer on a top-5 pass defense. The gap between Durant (14) and the team's #3 corner (Gray, 13) is just one — and behind him there's a steep drop-off (next leader at 8).

For a 4th-round corner from an HBCU, holding down a CB1-or-CB2 spot in LA's coverage scheme is the kind of arc the front office doesn't see often.

35 PDs across 4 seasons — a coverage profile that compounds rather than spikes.

Durant has 35 career PDs and 100 career tackles. That 0.35 PDs per tackle is one of the highest rates in the league for an active corner — most CBs cluster around 0.20-0.25 PDs per tackle.

The profile says 'targeted often, broken on a lot of those targets' — exactly what you want from a coverage-first corner whose run-support volume is intentionally limited.

2025: a single-season career high in PDs already — and the season isn't over.

14 PDs through 2025 to date already eclipses his 2024 total (10) and is nearly triple his rookie season (5). At this trajectory, he'd be on pace to finish among the league's top-10 corners in PDs.

For a player who entered the league with 0 starts projected in his draft profile, the 2025 season is the kind of breakout that turns a 4th-rounder into a second-contract priority.

3.0 career sacks, 5 TFL — Sean McVay has used him on the corner blitz more than most starting CBs.

Most starting CBs finish a 3-4 year career with 0 sacks and 0-1 TFL. Durant has 3.0 sacks and 5 TFL through 4 seasons — the result of being trusted on slot blitzes in Chris Shula's defensive packages.

The 2024 stat line (2.0 sacks, 5 TFL, 10 PDs) is the most well-rounded corner season any Rams CB has posted under McVay — and a hint at why Durant's role has only grown.
