The Buffalo Bills held their first practice of training camp on Wednesday, as football is officially back in Western New York. 

Buffalo spent a ton of draft capital on the defense this offseason with the hope that the unit would improve in the biggest games, specifically against the Kansas City Chiefs. Buffalo was the only team to allow the Chiefs to score 30 points last season, which led to another playoff loss in the AFC Championship Game.

First-round pick Max Hairston was the fastest player at the NFL Combine, and he is already making plays at the start of camp. During team drills, Josh Allen attempted a pass to KJ Hamler. Hairston trailed Hamler, flew in from the back side and got two hands on the pass, nearly picking it off.

Should the rookie continue to look like this through the rest of the summer, Buffalo can feel good about having a legitimate No. 2 cornerback opposite Christian Benford.
