Kyler Gordon has met with the #Bills and enjoyed going over his own film with some of the coaches. He’d love to land in Buffalo. He’d be thrilled to learn from Tre White, Micah Hyde, and Jordan Poyer and find out what makes them All Pro DBs. pic.twitter.com/4G1OmB8Lve

Kyler Gordon is similar to Andrew Booth Jr. in terms of size, he also is 6’0″ and 200 pounds but may need a little more time to develop before he is ready to contribute, according to the scouting report by Lance Zierlein on NFL.com. However, he isn’t afraid of contact and making a tackle and if he can improve in some of those finer details at the position, could be a top cornerback.
"He plays with an alpha demeanor and hitting is definitely part of his overall package. Gordon lacks polish and needs to play with better route recognition and anticipation, but if those elements click, his ball production could be near the top of the league as one of the top playmakers in the game."
When considering the uncertainty around when Tre’Davious White will be available, the Buffalo Bills may opt to draft a player who is ready to contribute right away.
