Andre Holmes, Leonard Johnson among early Buffalo Bills special teams standouts

Danny Crossman has survived three different head coaches since being hired by the Buffalo Bills as special teams coordinator in 2014. After Doug Marrone bolted at the end of the 2014 season, Crossman was retained by Rex Ryan for both 2015 and 2016; he was then kept on by new head coach Sean McDermott for the upcoming season. The special teams coach spoke about his players earlier today, and he had some praise for veterans and rookies alike.

Crossman specifically mentioned veterans Leonard Johnson and Andre Holmes. The former is also expected to compete with Kevon Seymour (and possibly even Shareece Wright) for snaps as the team’s nickel corner, while the latter was assumed to be penciled in as one of the team’s top three wide receivers coming into camp.
