2025 Fantasy Outlook
Buffalo's decision to draft Hairston at No. 30 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft provides the team with some much-needed speed at outside cornerback, though the rookie's light 5-foot-11, 183-pound frame could cause him some issues tackling at the NFL level. Still, a 4.28 40-yard dash paints the picture of Harrison as a cornerback capable of thriving in man coverage downfield, a skill set desperately needed for a Bills team hoping to emerge victorious in the AFC. Read Past Outlooks
Inks first pro deal
Hairston (hamstring) signed his rookie contract Friday.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not locked in as starter
Hairston will have to compete for a starting role for the Bills to begin the 2025 season, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bills selected Hairston out of Kentucky with the 30th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, suggesting he could have an immediate starting role. That could still be the case, though Buscaglia suggests that Tre'Davious White will push Hairston due to the former's familiarity with Buffalo's defensive scheme. Buscaglia also noted that Hairston was being coached hard during mandatory minicamp in an attempt to get him fully up to speed at the pro level.
