We’re counting down the best, most important, most impressive early career Buffalo Bills. These players are the closest thing to a “farm system” for an NFL team, and ideally they’re playing major roles in the team’s success. For every Von Miller the team’s signing in free agency, they’re only able to work that tactic by supporting him with a handful of younger, cost-controlled players.
Coming in fifth place is a runner who’s already given the Bills three years of solid production. It hasn’t always been smooth sailing, but in his third pro season he had the best year of his career, playing as the unquestioned lead back during the stretch run through the playoffs.
