Buffalo Bills WR Stevie Johnson said CB Stephon Gilmore has the ability to emerge into one of the league's top cornerbacks. 'Even if he wasn?t on my team and just checking out film on him you can tell he?s going to be something special,' said Johnson. 'He has that fight and that hunger and you can see it in him. I think he?s going to be one of those dominant cornerbacks in the league.'

Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix believes CB Stephon Gilmore can immediately make an impact for the team. 'From what I've seen I'd say he definitely can,' Nix said. 'He's done more than we thought he'd do with what we've exposed him to. So nothing surprises him. He's a very patient guy. He doesn't bite on every move. He's smart and has deceiving strength and great speed.' Gilmore will likely start at corner and benefit from a much improved pass rush.

Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey said he was impressed with how CB Stephon Gilmore looked during offseason workouts. 'He has done really an excellent job. Everything that we have asked him to do, to pick up, to adjust to-he has handled it so well. He is very mature beyond his years. He really is. He has done an excellent job. I think he has a chance to be a very good player if the same things show up in pads that showed up in shorts,' Gailey said.

The Buffalo Bills believe CB Stephon Gilmore, the 10th overall selection in the draft, will do an adequate job of covering the New England Patriots' tight end attack. 'We would like to be able to match up against those two guys,' said general manager Buddy Nix of Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. 'Even though you're not as big as they are these guys with speed and they're big enough that they can't knock them around and push them away from them. It's a lot harder for them against these bigger corners. Yes, we think (Gilmore) can do that.'
