Ryan Feels Gilmore Can Be Elite: Rex Ryan appeared on WGR today and said he feels Stephon Gilmore can be an elite corner.

On the offensive line, Ryan didn't rule out adding another guard or tackle. At quarterback, he said EJ Manuel will be given a chance but they will explore all avenues for another quarterback. He feels Manuel must move more to be successful and he has a chance to be a good one.
