During Brandon Beane’s season-ending presser—one that lasted more than an hour—the Buffalo Bills general manager was remarkably unreserved on several topics, including his desires for the team, free-agency plans, and his heartbreak at once again losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. One area that Beane addressed when prompted was the state of the team’s 2021 NFL Draft Class, providing quick reviews of the first three selections, along with safety Damar Hamlin.
Regarding first-round pick Gregory Rousseau, Beane told the assembled reporters that he was very impressed with how the rookie defensive end was able to start and finish such a long season after opting out of his final season in college due to COVID-19.
