In previous years, the Buffalo Bills have relied on the Senior Bowl for a large number of their NFL Draft picks. Last year, following the COVID-altered season of 2020, a whopping five of their eight picks played in the postseason college game getting ready for the 2021 NFL Draft while another was a UDFA signing. For many, it was the first time the Bills were actually able to see them in person because of the restrictions.
In 2022, it wasn’t such a heavy reliance, as the scouting department was able to get back on the road following the COVID-19 lockdowns.
