While the Buffalo Bills season opener didn’t have many things to celebrate, the arrival of what appears to be a true CB2 to start opposite Tre’Davious White was a bright spot on an otherwise otherwise overcast night.
Christian Benford, the second-year defensive back out of Villanova, got the nod from head coach Sean McDermott as the starting cornerback for Buffalo’s season opener, and he did everything possible to prove that it was the right call.
Benford, who started his rookie season splitting the snap count with fellow-rookie Kaiir Elam as they teamed up to fill in for the then-injured White, played every defensive snap in the Bills’ first game of the 2023 season. Benford recorded four tackles and a pass defended in his debut as part of the team’s starting defensive backfield.
