Kurt Warner Compares Stephon Gilmore To Deion Sanders
5 years agoHall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner said that New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore is a rare talent in today's NFL. "He reminds me of Deion Sanders the way he studies his craft and is a student of the game," Warner said. Like Sanders, Gilmore gets up in opposing wideouts' faces often and presses them hard at the line of scrimmage. Gilmore is talented physically, but what really puts him over the top is his knowledge of the game and his understanding of what everyone's responsibilities are on the field around him. New England's top cover man was ranked No. 1 overall in NFL.com's Nick Shook's list of top-10 coverage men in 2019. While he's the best coverage corner in the NFL heading into 2020, he doesn't have much fantasy value with opposing QBs more and more afraid to challenge him in coverage.
