‘“I don’t know if we have enough time to get through the whole story,” Quessenberry said Thursday during a video conference call with Western New York media members. “It’s a long, kind of difficult story. But yeah, basically I was diagnosed with cancer going into my second year. … That fight took about three years. That was a mountain I had to climb early on in my career. Thankfully, we beat it and we overcame it. We’re in a really good place now. We put a few really good years together and looking to keep that rolling up here in Buffalo.”’

Buffalo Bills roster is strong, but cornerback is a need. Here are potential draft options
‘And White’s recovery from knee surgery could hold him back early in the year, so another starter might be needed. If the Bills don’t sign a second-tier veteran free agent, is Lewis really that guy? Or Siran Neal, Nick McCloud, Olaijah Griffin or Tim Harris. I think not.’
Bills’ Josh Allen shares part of his game he’s working to improve for 2022 season
‘“We got to get over the hump in the playoffs and you get into the playoffs by winning your division, and we got to continue to find ways to come out a little stronger out of the gates,” said Allen. “I think, myself especially, making sure I’m on time, making the right reads and giving our guys good enough balls to get some some more RAC. That’s one thing I think, on offense, run after catch was wasn’t very high last year, but again, that’s me putting the ball where it needs to be and allow our guys to catch in a good position to make a run after the catch. So working on that, that’s been been one of my biggest takeaways in this offseason and trying to work on just ball placement and allowing our receivers to do that.”’

While he’s battled his way into a starting role on the field, his battle off the field has been even more inspiring.
