The Buffalo Bills carry one fullback on their roster. He can play in the backfield, he can play as a tight end, and he’s even lined up as an outside receiver at times. However, his biggest place of contribution is on special teams.
While the Bills have moved on from a few of their notable special teams-only players in linebacker Tyler Matakevich and defensive back Siran Neal, they haven’t moved on from the man they call Sledge. Having a utility player who can serve a few roles on offense certainly doesn’t hurt, especially as offensive coordinator Joe Brady seems poised to implement a personnel schematic that involves more heavy groupings this season.
