Stephon Gilmore Eyes Ideal Landing Spot for 14th NFL Season<\/p>\n
Stephon Gilmore, a seasoned veteran in the NFL, is back on the market, seeking the perfect fit to continue his distinguished career. The two-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl cornerback joined the Indianapolis Colts during the 2022 offseason, bringing with him a wealth of experience and talent.

Seeking the Right Opportunity<\/p>\n
In a recent conversation on The Money Down Podcast, Gilmore expressed his desire to play a 14th season, emphasizing the importance of finding the right situation. \u201cI want to play this year; it\u2019s just got to be the right situation,\u201d he stated. \u201cI\u2019m not just gonna sign anywhere. I still love the game. I still can contribute. It\u2019s just got to be the right place.\u201d This sentiment reflects a thoughtful approach as he navigates the next chapter of his career, prioritizing both his passion for the game and the environment in which he competes.<\/p>\n
A Stellar Career Highlighted by Achievements<\/p>\n
Drafted 10th overall in the 2012 NFL Draft, Gilmore has solidified his status as one of the premier cornerbacks of the last two decades. His accolades include a Super Bowl LIII victory and the coveted NFL Defensive Player of the Year award the following season. In 2022, while with the Colts, Gilmore demonstrated his enduring skill by starting all 16 games he played. He recorded a career-high 66 tackles, alongside two interceptions and 11 pass breakups. His performance earned him recognition as the seventh-best full-time cornerback in the league, with a commendable grade of 79.1.<\/p>\n
