Bills’ CB learned from Stefon Diggs, now he’s dominating
‘“I was young and just understanding like different receivers, how they run their routes, how they will beat certain types of DBs, so that’s what I learned from him,” Benford said. “Even sometimes during the game he would say something; I would look to the sideline and he would say something.
