Shortly after Thursday night’s 35-14 victory over the visiting New York Giants, one of the best defensive players of his era took to social media to share his opinion about a member of the New England Patriots’ defensive backfield: Darrelle Revis, who helped the Patriots win a Super Bowl during his lone season with the club, called cornerback Stephon Gilmore “by far” the best cornerback in the league today.
He certainly looked that part against the Giants. Gilmore, who is in his third season in New England since joining the team on a five-year, $65 million free agency contract in 2017, allowed just one catch on six targets all day long and made numerous big plays.
