As the Buffalo Bills continue filling out their roster with speed, their latest addition is a kick and punt returner. Brandon Powell is joining the Bills on a one-year contract, according to his agency. NYUpstate’s Ryan Talbot reports that the deal is for the veteran minimum.
Powell, 25, is entering effectively his fourth pro season, after initially breaking into the league in 2018. In his first career start with the Detroit Lions, Powell caught six passes for 103 yards against the Green Bay Packers.
Powell spent the 2019 season on practice squads, but was promoted to the Atlanta Falcons roster for 2020.
