After close to two decades as Tom Brady's playground, the AFC East needs a new identity. Brady's direct replacement Cam Newton offers one option since he and new division rival Josh Allen are cut from the same cloth of power-running quarterbacks, but I'll propose a brand with its own extended history in the division. Dating back to Darrelle Revis' prime at the turn of the last decade, the division has frequently been the home of some of the game's best cover cornerbacks. That was true in 2019 and should be true again in 2020 with reigning Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore of the Patriots, as well as Tre'Davious White of the Bills.
