Cornerback: Tre’Davious White and Stephon Gilmore

Buffalo’s secondary is filled with standouts over the past decade. The two best cornerbacks in the 2019 season also earn honors on this list. Stephon Gilmore led the Bills with 14 interceptions during the past decade. White, for his part, is third among defensive backs on the list with 12 interceptions.

Both players are true No. 1 shutdown cornerbacks. It’s amazing that Buffalo has this lineage of top players at this position since 2012. Both players were also first-round picks of the team, each of which were certainly picks the team nailed. Unfortunately, Gilmore eventually left the team.
