The Gilmore signing certainly has been terrific for the Pats. He had a great season last year and is having a spectacular one now. Certainly All - Pro and a contender for Defensive POTY.
This got me thinking who are the best Pats CBs of all-time, my list is:
Mike Haynes
Ty Law
Raymond Clayborn/Stephon Gilmore
Haynes was the best. Maybe the best of all time anywhere. HOF
Law was a hard-tackling shut-down corner for many seasons. HOF
Clayborn and Gilmore, for me, are interchangeable in the #3 position. Maybe a slight edge to Gilmore.
