The Buffalo Bills are entering training camp with a major question at cornerback. While Christian Benford gives the defense a proven presence, the depth behind him is defined more by potential than experience, making this one of the roster’s most important positions to watch.
That uncertainty matters even more in today’s NFL, where defenses are constantly tested by elite wide receivers and versatile tight ends. A team with postseason expectations cannot afford instability in the secondary, so Buffalo will need one of its younger defensive backs to show he is ready for a larger role.
Max Hairston and Davison Igbinosun stand out as two names to follow as camp opens at St. John Fisher University. The Bills do not just need competition at the position; they need one of those young players to separate himself and provide confidence that the group can hold up over a long season.
If that happens, Buffalo’s defense could avoid a major vulnerability. If it does not, cornerback may remain one of the team’s biggest concerns heading into the regular season.
