Much attention has been given to the New England Patriots starting duo of Malcolm Butler and Stephon Gilmore, with lesser thought given to the slot cornerback. Some assume that Butler will kick inside and allow Eric Rowe to play on the outside (I’m in this camp), but the Patriots are trying to see if they can find a defensive back that can play in the slot full time.
If you asked anyone which player on the roster would make the most sense, sophomore second round CB Cyrus Jones would be a natural option.
