In the latest NFL mock draft by Charles Davis, the Buffalo Bills are set to enhance their secondary by selecting cornerback Maxwell Hairston from the University of Kentucky with their 30th overall pick. Hairston has been making waves following a stellar performance at the NFL Combine, where he clocked a swift 4.28 seconds in the 40-yard dash and showcased impressive vertical leap capabilities. His rise in the draft rankings stems from his ability to blend athleticism with strong instincts on the field.
Davis emphasized the charisma and skills that Hairston could bring to Buffalo, filling a crucial need at the cornerback position. With Christian Benford and Dane Jackson presently at the top of the depth chart, Hairston's potential addition could solidify the Bills’ defense, especially with the uncertainty surrounding Rasul Douglas’ future with the team as he remains unsigned. Hairston’s versatility allows for adaptability in both man and zone coverage, making him an exciting prospect for the Bills’ secondary.
