It’s important for me to finish what we started here, so I’m excited about what the future holds.

Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix believes CB Stephon Gilmore can immediately make an impact for the team. ‘From what I’ve seen I’d say he definitely can,’ Nix said. ‘He’s done more than we thought he’d do with what we’ve exposed him to. So nothing surprises him. He’s a very patient guy. He doesn’t bite on every move. He’s smart and has deceiving strength and great speed.’ Gilmore will likely start at corner and benefit from a much improved pass rush.
