Last year heading into Buffalo Bills training camp, first-round pick Kaiir Elam was talked about as being the starting cornerback opposite Dane Jackson with Tre’Davious White still recovering from an ACL injury. When Week 1 arrived, Elam was on the sideline. The player getting reps? Sixth-round pick Christian Benford.
Heading into the 2023 NFL season, White looks primed to return to his pre-injury form as the shut-down CB1 for Buffalo’s defense. While there’s palpable anticipation surrounding White’s return to form, some believe the battle for the second cornerback spot to be the biggest question of Bills training camp.
