Cobie Durant had a remarkable performance for the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16 versus the Denver Broncos and he showed off his speed on one of his interceptions. According to Next Gen Stats, Durant had the second-fastest play in Week 16, clocking in at 21.5 mph on his 85-yard pick-six.
The only player to have a faster play in Week 16 was Jaylen Waddle of the Miami Dolphins, who clocked in at 21.68 mph on an 84-yard touchdown reception. On the season, Durant now owns the ninth-fastest play in the NFL.
Tutu Atwell previously had the fastest play for a player on the Rams this season on a 54-yard reception from Matthew Stafford in Week 5. The second-year wideout reached 21.46 mph on his long reception.
The rookie cornerback for the Rams would finish Sunday’s blowout win over the Broncos with two pass breakups and two interceptions that would result in 100 yards and a touchdown. As a result of his stellar outing, Durant led all players on the Rams in PFF grade in Week 16.
Even though Durant struggled with injuries earlier in the season, it’s clear that he’ll continue to get more playing time down the stretch due to his playmaking ability and speed at the cornerback position.
