The conversation wasn’t about the best quarterback – some guy in Kansas City has held that title for a minute.
It wasn’t about the best wide receiver, although that is a fun one. Rather, the conversation was about whether a sauce or a gaming console was better. Who is the best cornerback in the NFL today ?
