Buffalo Bills 2016 X-factors: Preston Brown

Preston Brown enters an important third season with the Bills, and he’ll get to play next to quite a talented rookie in Reggie Ragland.

He’ll play next to the reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Year and two-time national champion linebacker Reggie Ragland from the college football empire that is Alabama, so it won’t be difficult to overlook Preston Brown.

But the Bills third-year linebacker will be a vital piece to Rex Ryan’s plans in 2016... and the quality of his play will substantially contribute to the overall quality of Buffalo’s defense.

As a rookie in 2014, playing next to a healthy and explosive Nigel Bradham and the thumping Brandon Spikes, Brown thrived in a significant role.
