Opinion: Terrel Bernard gives the Buffalo Bills a Matt Milano understudy

I have to admit: I’m not sure that I fully understand the logic for the Buffalo Bills’ selection of Baylor linebacker Terrel Bernard with their 3rd round pick. And I thought the Bills were going to draft a linebacker tonight!

Bernard, a redshirt senior, was a captain at Baylor, and he’s considered to have outstanding character, leadership, and intelligence traits. The 6’1” 224 pounder is a high-caliber athlete who ran a 4.59 forty yard dash, had a 10’3” broad jump, and a 4.25 short shuttle. That range showed up in his stats, too: in 32 games from 2019 to 2021, he had 270 total tackles, 28.
