Whoops: Did Stephon Gilmore forget John Brown exists?

Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore does not mention Bills wide receiver John Brown.

Former Bills and current Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore has continued to grow upon his productive career in the NFL. While an ex-Bills player, you’ll have to tip your cap that he’s probably the best cornerback in the league, or at least among the best.

But having said that, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year unfortunately forget to tip his cap in a respective manner himself. And it was specifically in regard one Bills player which beckons the question, did Gilmore forget wide receiver John Brown exists?

Gilmore recently named some of the toughest and most difficult receivers he’s faced in the NFL. While we know Brown maybe isn’t at the top of the list nationwide, but Gilmore seemed to forget about one moment last season because when answering that question.

“[Antonio Brown], you got Tyreek Hill just because of his speed, you got Odell Beckham’s pretty tough… Julio Jones, I would say he’s in my top five too, probably one or two, but I haven’t played against him… Michael Thomas… he’s a monster,” Gilmore said on The Bakari Sellers Podcast via Patriots Wire.

Gilmore continued: “Calvin Johnson… He didn’t cook me, but he was very tough. He’s huge. I’m like ‘this dude is huge and he can move like this. This is crazy.”

Not to suggest Brown’s a Megatron-type guy, but while the current Defensive Player of the Year was covering him, the Bills wide receiver smoked him for a touchdown. While some Patriots faithful will call it a zone coverage by Gilmore, in fact, according to Pro Football Focus, it was the only time Gilmore was beat for a score in his award-winning season.

Maybe that’s why it was so convenient for Gilmore to forget to mention Brown?

Just at the chance Gilmore stumbles upon this article, here’s that TD:
