Who Should I Start? Kaiir Elam or Daxton Hill

Saturday, June 15, 2:40 PM

Buffalo Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam just turned 23 years old and has gotten a ton of repetitions this spring with veteran Rasul Douglas missing the voluntary organized team activities. Elam will be in line to challenge for a starting outside cornerback role in training camp and the preseason. He was taken with the 23rd overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of Florida, but he hasn't really panned out yet for the Bills secondary early in his career. It comes after Tre'Davious White left to play for the Los Angeles Rams. Elam will be competing with Douglas and Christian Benford for more snaps on the outside at cornerback as he heads into his third NFL season. At worst, Elam will be a key backup for the Bills defense this year.

Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Dax Hill (knee) is feared to have suffered a torn ACL in the Week 5 overtime loss to the division-rival Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, according to sources, which would cause him to miss the rest of the 2024 season. It's a tough blow for the Bengals defense, as Hill had found his footing in a move from safety early this year. The 24-year-old had already recorded 25 tackles (20 solo), one sack and two pass breakups in the first five games of his third season in the NFL before suffering the devastating knee injury. Hill will now enter rehab mode after likely requiring season-ending surgery and hope to return even better in 2025. The former 31st overall pick in 2022 out of Michigan broke out to the tune of 110 combined tackles, 1.5 sacks, two interceptions and 11 pass breakups in 17 starts in his second year in 2023.
