Callahan was targeted a team-high six times, but he only allowed two catches for 23 yards with three pass breakups according to PFF.
He is the team's highest-graded cornerback on the season, and the seventh-highest in the NFL overall. It's all happening at the perfect time while he's playing on a one-year deal.
He was a restricted free agent last offseason, but this spring he's set to hit the open market.
