He signed a contract with the Bills the first day the free agent market opened. Safety Jordan Poyer however, was not a big name on a day when Buffalo, under new head coach Sean McDermott, had signed five free agents. His name largely went under the radar. Pro Bowl FB Pat DiMarco and fellow safety Micah Hyde were the players drawing the headlines that day.
Now two weeks into the 2017 season, it's Poyer’s play that's demanding attention. Leading the team in pass breakups, tied for the team lead in sacks and interceptions and third in total tackles, the Bills safety looks like a free agent steal.
