Stephon Gilmore also had a great reaction when he was asked about who he though the best player in the league was. “I would pick myself.”

The confidence is good coming off a turbulent off season with many changes happening. Most of the questions surround what will happen at quarterback. Most experts agree that the newly acquired Cam Newton will the the starter, taking over for Tom Brady.

Gilmore’s teammates also had nothing but great things to say about him.

“When you have a shutdown corner, you always hear from him that he’s a shutdown corner. But Steph doesn’t say a whole lot,” captain Matthew Slater said. “He takes a lot of pride in not giving up anything, whether it’s a walkthrough, whether it’s practice, and obviously in the game. … It’s been fun to see him become the best corner in football.”

It is going to be interesting to see how this translates to the field. Hopefully Gilmore can continue his great play going forward this season.
