Patrick Surtain Seen As Major Threat At Wideout Workshop
Patrick Surtain II is definitely considered one of the best cornerbacks out there in the NFL by both former and current players. Quite recently, a class on beating Surtain was taken by former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson at the Wideout Workshop. This was the first edition of the workshop and saw participants from various teams coming together for the three-day event.

The summit, similar to the Tight End University co-founded by Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce, and San Francisco 49ers tight end, George Kittle, hopes to not only help wide receivers collaborate and come together, but also teaches wide-outs new tricks to practice on the field.
Surtain, being highly regarded as a cornerback on the field, was a hot topic, especially because of his battles with Ja’Marr Chase. Johnson took an entire class, explaining how one can defeat cornerbacks like Surtain, remarking the ‘diamond release’ move as the solution. However, Chase did not seem too eager to practice the move, because it can be pretty to navigate on the field.
