Cornerback (5): Gareon Conley, Nick Nelson, Isaiah Johnson, Daryl Worley, Trayvon Mullen

Gareon Conley came alive in the second half of the season last year, and is finally playing as well as you would hope from a former first round pick. Conley will look to break out even more this season, hoping to become one of the elite corners in the league.

Daryl Worley played well last season, and is listed as the starter for now. He will most likely hold this position for a while, but rookies Trayvon Mullen and Isaiah Johnson will look to make their names known and climb up the depth chart.

Sophomore corner Nick Nelson will also be returning to the team, looking to make a big impact. One thing that stood out on Saturday was how fast the secondary looked, as they held the Rams to only three points. They did all of that without Conley in the lineup, so there is a good chance this unit turns some heads in 2019.
