What is a squat corner back?

A squat cornerback is a type of defensive back in American football who plays close to the line of scrimmage, often in a press coverage position. This player typically uses a low, crouched stance to quickly react to receivers and is adept at jamming them at the line. Squat cornerbacks focus on disrupting routes and providing run support while being prepared to defend against short to intermediate passes. Their positioning allows them to be more aggressive in both coverage and tackling.
