Stephon Gilmore is jumping to his idol's company, Jordan Brand

Stephon Gilmore is like the rest of us, limited in what he can do these days.

The Patriots cornerback has set up a workout room in his garage while occasionally visiting an area track to get some running in. Gilmore did, however, find time to make a change in his life.

The NFL Defensive Player of the Year announced Wednesday that he is joining up with Jordan Brand, a company that already is linked with the Celtics' Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker.

Why is the move such a big deal to Gilmore? He explained in a question and answer on the company's Web site:

Super Bowl champion, multiple Pro Bowls, the first-ever New England Patriot to ever win defensive player of the year… you’re at the top of your game.
