Stephon Gilmore recalls favorite memory and plays during Patriots run
Legendary cornerback Stephon Gilmore revealed his favorite plays during his run with the Patriots.
Legendary cornerback Stephon Gilmore officially retired from the New England Patriots on Friday. During his press conference, Gilmore was asked about his favorite play during his time with the team. He mentioned two standout moments. In the 2017 AFC Championship Game, Gilmore made a crucial fourth-down pass break that secured the Patriots' place in Super Bowl 53.
The following year, in Super Bowl 53, he intercepted a Jared Goff throw with four minutes and thirteen seconds left, leaping to snag the ball from Rams wideout Brandin Cooks. Gilmore found it difficult to choose between the two plays, but Patriots Wire's Sophie Weller reported that he declared winning Super Bowl LIII as his favorite memory with the Patriots.
A former NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Gilmore was a key defender for the Patriots throughout his career. Now, he can officially retire with the team and conclude his Hall of Fame-worthy career.
