If Stephon Gilmore had to pick one of the top players in the NFL, he knows exactly who he would choose.
“I would pick myself,” the Patriots cornerback told NFL Network.
Gilmore’s confidence comes as no surprise, and based on his performance last season, he’s solidified himself as the best cornerback in the NFL. His numbers speak for themselves: he finished the season with a career-high six interceptions (tied for the league-high) and led the league with 20 passes defended. He also earned All-Pro honors and was named the 2019 AP Defensive Player of the Year (making him the first Patriot to win the award).
