Patrick DiMarco was a two-star recruit out of high school. No NFL team saw fit to draft him, and the first one he signed with cut him.
On Tuesday, he was named a team captain on an NFL squad.
DiMarco was named one of six captains for the Buffalo Bills. He signed a four-year deal with the team before last season.
DiMarco signed with the Chargers out of USC, then spent a season with the Kansas City Chiefs before landing in Atlanta. He played there from 2013-2016, growing into a Pro Bowler and All-Pro in 2015.
