3 pds and 16 tackles, but he got hurt vs the chargers. toe is a worry. bills are 3-0.
Benford is the steady boundary presence in a secondary built around younger players and flexible parts. He has the calm coverage temperament and ball awareness Buffalo needs on the toughest outside assignments.
Strengths: Boundary coverage, veteran leadership, ball skills, awareness and composure.
Weaknesses: He has less proven high-end depth behind him if injuries force major role changes.
Benford is no longer the pleasant late-round surprise; he is the standard-setter in Buffalo's corner room. He has 48 starts, has consistently broken up passes and capped 2025 with both an interception and a fumble-return touchdown in an award-winning game. He plays bigger than his draft status, is willing in run support and has become a leader for younger DBs. An eight fits a dependable high-level starter who has already put together multiple strong seasons.
Strengths: He combines length, physical coverage, ball skills and a real willingness to tackle. Benford can match outside receivers, contest at the catch point and turn a mistake into a takeaway rather than merely surviving the rep.
Weaknesses: He has missed bits of time in otherwise strong seasons, and his aggressive style can create occasional penalty or recovery risk. The next step is maintaining this level while quarterbacks increasingly avoid or target him strategically.
