New Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson has earned a reputation as one of the game’s greatest trash talkers, a fact quarterback Josh Allen admitted to the media on Tuesday when he said Gardner-Johnson was the loudest guy in Buffalo’s locker room at all times.
After a relatively quiet start to minicamp, Gardner-Johnson’s play spoke for itself on Wednesday, when the veteran safety recorded back-to-back breakups of Allen passes before coming away with an interception as Buffalo’s defense more than held its own against Allen and the offense.
“I told (Josh) I’m gonna get one of them before we go out, because I haven’t touched the ball all camp,” Gardner-Johnson said to reporters after practice. “So the fact I got to touch the ball three times in one day. Ah, yeah, it’s gonna be a great year.”
