Bills' Maxwell Hairston: Inks first pro deal
Hairston (hamstring) signed his rookie contract Friday.
The Bills have big plans for the speedy rookie, as he's lined up for a starting cornerback role right out of the gate after being selected 30th overall in April, assuming the pulled hamstring he suffered this week during minicamp is nothing major. Hairston's Kentucky teammate Deone Walker also signed his rookie deal Friday.

Bills' Maxwell Hairston: Should be OK for camp
Hairston pulled his hamstring Wednesday during mandatory minicamp but should be ready for training camp in the summer, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.
The cornerback was selected with the 30th overall pick in April's draft, and he's expected to play a starting role right away across from Christian Benford. Hairston's 4.28 40 speed should allow him to play downfield man coverage against fast receivers, and he could serve as the type of corner the Bills have lacked in recent years.

Bills' Maxwell Hairston: Bills add speedy corner in first
The Bills selected Hairston in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 30th overall.
Hairston (5-foot-11, 183 pounds) is quite a bit lighter than the corners targeted by the Bills in recent years, and as a tackler in particular the former Kentucky standout might need to improve before gaining the approval of coach Sean McDermott. It's possible that Hairston's abilities are just what the Bills have lacked at crucial points in recent history, however -- more specifically, Hairston projects as a standout downfield man coverage corner, and with 4.28 speed he can match stride with almost any receiver. If speed specialists gave the Bills trouble, then Hairston gives the team a direct counter that it previously lacked.
