Former Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston made his NFL debut last week against the Carolina Panthers. However, it was his second career game on Sunday against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs where he made the first big play of his career.
Trailing 28-21, Mahomes and the Chiefs had a chance to drive down the field and tie the game. However, Hairston had other plans as he intercepted a deep Mahomes pass to help secure a win for the Bills.
Buffalo was able to run down the majority of the clock and then get one final defensive stand to clinch the victory over Kansas City.
Here’s a clip of Hairston’s interception:

Hairston was drafted by the Bills with the No. 30 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but suffered a non-contact injury during Bills rookie mini-camp on July 29. He was put on the injured reserve, but was able to come back and play last week against the Panthers.
During his time at Kentucky, Hairston showcased the ability to make the big-play, especially during the 2023 season. He had five interceptions that season, and he took two of them back for touchdowns.
