Running back Mike Gillislee was one of the bright spots for the Buffalo Bills in 2016. Gillislee carried over the momentum he had to finish 2015 and quickly made Bills fans forget about 2015 rookie sensation Karlos Williams.
Gillislee led the NFL in yards per carry at 5.7 and ran for 577 yards and 8 touchdowns. (This will be the only mention of him, but maybe the team’s quarterback has something to do with whatever running back the Bills seem to play being extremely successful. But maybe not, Gillislee did come to the Bills in 2015 with 6 carries for 21 yards in two seasons and 5th round pick pedigree.
