Sean McDermott, throughout his seven years at the helm of the Buffalo Bills, has earned a reputation as a defensive backs savant, a position specialist who can 'coach up' marginal cornerbacks and safeties and elevate them into reliable starters. Think back to the masterclass he constructed in the 2017 NFL season; the then-first-year head coach turned a secondary of Tre'Davious White, E.J. Gaines, Micah Hyde, and Jordan Poyer—then an amalgamation of youth, inexperience, and hope—into one of the league's elite secondaries, a unit that would endure with White, Hyde, and Poyer as its pillars for the better part of the next decade.
