New Bills signing going from Boca to Buffalo
‘Brandon Walton is a Florida guy through and through. “I don’t even have a winter coat, so it’s gonna be a big, big adjustment,” says Walton. The Bills signed the offensive lineman out of Florida Atlantic University as an undrafted free agent. He grew up in the Tampa area and has never lived outside the Sunshine State.’

Bills Today | NFL analyst considers three Bills his favorite draft picks
‘Let me get this out in the open right now. I think Jake Fromm’s ceiling is low-end starter with a greater chance that he’s a good backup. So why is he in my top three picks for Round 5? It has everything to do with what he brings to the QB room. It’s a well-known fact that Fromm is a football savant who sees the game like a coach might. Putting him in the room and in the ear of a player with the physical talent of Josh Allen could create ancillary benefits that lead to new heights for this version of the organization.’
Bills’ new toys should have big positive impact on Brian Daboll’s schemes
‘The Bills used the three-receiver, one-back set (11 personnel) on 70% of their plays in 2019, which ranked seventh most in the NFL. The league average was 60%.

Expect the Bills to rank in the top 10 again in 11 personnel – and probably increase their rate a bit from 70%.’
Bills Mailbag: Did Brandon Beane keep Jake Fromm away from the Patriots?
‘If Belichick had any belief of Fromm being a potential starter for New England, there is no way he would have passed on him at that point for a kicker. We’ll see who ends up being right about Fromm. The Bills don’t need him to become a starter, either. If he can be a trusted backup, that’s a successful fifth-round pick.’

NFL draft analyst gushes over Buffalo Bills’ day 3 haul
‘“As you can tell by now, I’m a fan of how the Bills handled Day 3 of their draft. With Jackson, the Bills add a three-year college starter who can crowd routes underneath and plays a competitive brand of football. He doesn’t have the speed to match up downfield against vertical threats, but he does have the intangibles and drive that should help him compete for a roster spot in Buffalo.”’

Bills receiver Stefon Diggs’ story of lost and found has a familiar ring
‘“I give all my rings to my mom. I’m not big on trophies and things like that. I give them all to her. She was taking them from my grandmother’s house because my grandfather had passed away. I guess it slipped out of my mom’s bag. I texted my mom and said somebody found it and she said, ‘I’m so sorry.’ I said, ‘Don’t even worry about it. They’re going to help me get it back.’”’
