Few players in the history of the sport have showcased both incredible talent and brutal injury luck as much as cornerback Jason Verrett.
Verrett has played like one of the top cornerbacks in football essentially whenever he’s healthy. That qualifier, though, has proven to be an issue. Verrett has sustained two ACL tears, two Achilles tears, two shoulder labrum tears, and a number of other strains and pulls. It’s a testament to his perseverance that he returned to action in his last full season, 2020, but that sentiment is even more worthwhile now.
