Tre’Davious White vs. Kenny Golladay

One matchup that is worth paying close attention to is between Buffalo Bills’ starting cornerback Tre’Davious White and Detroit Lions’ wide receiver Kenny Golladay. These are two players that are looking to take that next step into being considered one of the best in the league at their position.

There is no question that White is the Bills’ lockdown cornerback and the best they have at the position. He will have the tough task of facing receivers like Odell Beckham Jr., Alshon Jeffrey, Amari Cooper and JuJu Smith-Schuster over the course of the season.

This matchup against Golladay will be a good early test for him and a bit of redemption. The 6’4″ wide receiver is coming off a breakout season with over 1,000 receiving yards and five touchdowns. At the end of last season, Golladay had one of his best games of the season with a season high 146 receiving yards on seven receptions.

The individual battle between these two players will be fun to watch on Friday night.
