The Buffalo Bills have placed their 2022 first-round pick on the bench in favor of their sixth-round pick. Former FCS cornerback Christian Benford of Villanova got the nod over Florida Gators CB Kaiir Elam on the first series of the night, as Elam was on the kickoff coverage following the Bills’ opening touchdown.
Elam was beaten by Cooper Kupp on the first drive, but that’s nothing to be ashamed by. He had a nice tackle on the next play.
We have expected a rotation between the pair, so we will update as the game continues, but Benford came out for the second series, as well.
