91 Buffalo Bills players in 91 days: CB Maxwell Hairston

Is Christian Benford a good fit to play more man coverage?

Christian Benford and Maxwell Hairston are “penciled in” as the Buffalo Bills starting outside cornerbacks right now — not my words, but those from Brandon Beane in his post-draft press conference about a month ago.
