Corey Jonas Webster (born March 2, 1982) is a former American football cornerback who played for the New York Giants.
He was drafted by the Giants in the second round of the 2005 NFL Draft and later won two Super Bowls with the team, both over the New England Patriots.
He played college football at Louisiana State University.
High school career
Webster attended St. James High School in Vacherie, Louisiana, and was a two-sport champion in both football and basketball. He was an all state quarterback for the Wildcats football team and an all state guard wearing jersey #11 for the basketball team. He was recruited as a wide receiver coming out of high school but was later asked to play cornerback at LSU by then coach Nick Saban.
College career
For the 2002 season, Webster converted to Cornerback after catching 7 passes for 74 yards as a true freshman. He will finish his college career with 16 interceptions (2nd in school history), be named as a 1st Team All-American twice, and was a 1st Team All-SEC pick three times. He finished second in the SEC with 25 pass breakups and 17 as a Sophomore in 2002.
Professional career
After starting the first few weeks of what was seen as a poor showing in the Giants' opening weeks of the season, Webster was limited to special teams service or even inactive. In week 16, which was a precursor to his playoff triumph, he had a good game against the Buffalo Bills later in the season. Against the Bills, he had an interception and a touchdown. Jeff Garcia was intercepted in the end zone during the Wild Card Playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At the start of the second half, Buccaneers returner Micheal Spurlock recovered a fumble. This turnover set up a Giant field goal. He played near shut down defense on All-Pro Terrell Owens in the NFC divisional Playoff game. In the NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers, he made what turned out to be the game-winning interception, sending the Giants to Super Bowl XLII. Brett Favre's last ride as a Packer came as a Packer.
Webster put on a good showing in the first three quarters of Super Bowl XLII. On the go-ahead Patriots' scoring drive, he collapsed, allowing New England Patriots receiver Randy Moss to score a quick touchdown on a critical third down play, putting the Patriots up 14-10 with less than three minutes remaining. However, he came back to deflect a pass from Tom Brady to Randy Moss on the next drive to stop the Patriots from scoring and nearly guaranteeing the Super Bowl victory.
The New York Giants gave him a five-year $43.5 million contract with 20 percent guaranteed on December 14, 2008.
Webster was involved in an altercation with Washington Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss during the Giants' home game against the Redskins on September 13, 2009. Both players were fined for Unsportsmanlike Conduct.
During the 2011 regular season, Webster had a career-high six interceptions. Webster defeated the Patriots for the second time in five years in Super Bowl XLVI, defeating them 21-17. He was defending a tackle and made a tackle.
During the 2012 regular season, Webster had a career-high 58 tackles (52 solo).
For the Carolina Panthers' September 22, 2013 game, Webster suffered a hip flexor and was questionable.
