"Gilmore finished his career as a member of six teams - the Bills, Patriots, Panthers, Colts, Cowboys and Vikings - and a Super Bowl champion. He played in two Super Bowls with the Patriots, becoming a key piece to help New England secure its sixth championship."
"The Bills drafted the outside cornerback in the 2012 first round, and the Patriots deviated from their generally conservative Bill Belichick-era free agency blueprint to hand him a big-ticket deal in 2017. That led to Gilmore's career apex, as he secured back-to-back first-team All-Pro nods with the Pats."
"Intercepting 32 regular-season passes and starting 173 career games, Gilmore was certainly one of the better cornerbacks of his era. He delivered one of the greatest stretches in the position's history as well, and it played a key role in the Patriots venturing to Super Bowls LII and LIII."
