The Buffalo Bills' new cornerback signing is already quite familiar with superstar quarterback Josh Allen.
He intercepted Allen during the 2025 NFL season.
That's Dee Alford, who signed from the Atlanta Falcons.
A reported three year, $21 million contract for Alford will have him expected to do much the same to other QBs in 2026 and beyond, likely as the corner lined up on the opposite side of the field from Christian Benford.
Alford had his introductory press conference on Thursday, and he got a chance to talk about that interception of Allen.
It came when the Bills and Falcons were playing a spotlight game on Monday Night Football, and Alford took advantage of the stage.
"I was able to get my guy Josh Allen," Alford said. "I'm going to joke about that in the locker room."

The Falcons got the last laugh that night, too. They shocked the Bills, 24-14.
Atlanta's season went downhill from there, while Buffalo more or less turned things around.
Now, Alford gets the chance to join a team with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations. It's a cool opportunity.
And having a nice inside joke with Allen already can't hurt the cause.
