Going into last season, the Buffalo Bills were in need of someone to take hold of the primary returner spot. A few players competed for the role during the preseason, but nobody could really nail the spot down.
Fortunately for the Bills, there was an experienced return man released during the final cutdown prior to the start of the 2016 regular season. He took the role about halfway through the first game of the year and performed well enough to earn a shot at keeping the job for another year.
