Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator/assistant head coach Leslie Frazier has been a coach in the NFL for 24 seasons, the last five in Western New York as Buffalo’s defensive coordinator.
His commitment to the game and success as an assistant coach were rewarded by the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA), who bestowed the 2022 Paul “Dr. Z” Zimmerman Award on Frazier as a lifetime achievement award.
Frazier was joined by the late Greg Knapp, former passing game coordinator for the New York Jets, as this year’s recipients of the Dr. Z Award, which was founded in 2014.
