Stephon Gilmore

Buffalo Bills fans know this next player all too well as Stephon Gilmore was a first round pick by the Bills and started his career in Buffalo. However, once his rookie contract was up he left Buffalo but stayed in the AFC East by joining the New England Patriots.

While Gilmore was good with the Bills, he took that next step with the Patriots by making the Pro Bowl the last two years and winning NFL Defensive Player of the Year last season. He is arguably one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL and Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs is likely to see a great deal of Gilmore.

The matchup between Gilmore and Diggs is going to be great football and with Gilmore covering the Bills star wide receiver, it doesn’t mean that Josh Allen shouldn’t look his way. However, he will need to pick his spots, and when he does challenge Stephon Gilmore he makes sure the pass is accurate.
