‘The first-round draft pick (Hairston) will compete against the eight-year vet (White), among others, for the starting job opposite No. 1 cornerback Christian Benford. Hairston has the elite speed, athleticism and ball skills the Bills covet at the position; however, he’ll need to show in training camp that he’s a capable tackler who can be trusted to cover the big, physical perimeter receivers in the NFL. Forget about everything you heard from mandatory minicamp – we won’t be able to gauge Hairston’s readiness until the pads are on, and corners are able to press at the line of scrimmage.’

Buffalo Bills position preview: Veteran Tre’Davious White attempts to fend off rookie Max Hairston
‘For years, the Bills haven’t been trying to find a No. 2 cornerback, first to play opposite White and now Christian Benford, who signed a four-year extension during the offseason. They drafted Kaiir Elam in the first round, but it was never a great fit and he was traded to the Dallas Cowboys after three years, 12 starts and one year left on his contract.’

Buffalo Bills 2025 training camp preview
‘The Bills have the highest of expectations coming off quarterback Josh Allen’s first MVP season, and the “Hard Knocks” cameras are ready to capture the action. A focus of the offseason was re-signing their own, keeping several key players for the long haul, including rewarding Allen with the most guaranteed money in NFL history.

Bills’ Super Bowl hopes depend on 2 huge X-factors
‘”The Bills need at least one of the two to take a big step forward,” Walder writes. “If they do, GM Brandon Beane will look plenty justified not investing more in another pass catcher. More importantly, that would give Allen another real playmaker to throw to besides Khalil Shakir (I’m not much of a believer in former Chargers receiver Joshua Palmer). If neither break out, then Buffalo has a pass-catching weakness.”‘
