There are 30 members on the Bills Wall of Fame. There are 10 Bills in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But there is only one Bills player to have his number retired… until now. Bills team President Russ Brandon announced on the team flagship station WGR Sportsradio 550 Wednesday morning that Bills Hall of Famer Bruce Smith will have his iconic number 78 retired.
Smith becomes the second player in team annals to have his jersey number retired by the franchise joining fellow Hall of Famer Jim Kelly. Never again will jersey number 78 be worn by another Bills player.
