Continuing a month-long series analyzing players who are on the Buffalo Bills' roster bubble and where they potentially fit in 2015:

Name: Randell Johnson

Position: Linebacker

Age: 24

2014 stats: 5 games, 1 tackle

Chance of making 53-man roster: 75 percent

Why he should make it: Johnson is a bigger linebacker (6-foot-4 and 245 pounds) who has the necessary size to play strong-side linebacker in Rex Ryan's defense.
