I don’t remember either of those guys. 

How about this, how many first round picks from 2006 played for the Bills and who are they?

 

Jehuu played HS ball at Clymer  which is in Chautauqua county and about 70 miles from New Era.  They won NYSPHSAA Class D championships with him and at 230+ you can imagine him trucking players at the smallest classification of NYS high school football.  I think he averaged over 10 ypc.  He played his college ball at Michigan State and he did well there, especially as a short yardage specialist.  His one carry for the Bills got a first down, I think. 

 

His back story is way more interesting than his NFL career.  He and his family were refugees of a civil war in Liberia which claimed the life of his father.  He coached at Southwestern HS near Jamestown where he had some nice teams but last year he resigned to work for NFL Xenith.

ok, another trivia, this is bills/sabres. it's a little hard to word correctly. i need just 2 names that 4 players have had in common. 2 for the bills, 2 for the sabres, e.g, joe blow played for Bills and Sabres, john doe played for the Bills and Sabres, their careers didn't overlap.

Curtis Brown and ???

 

He hasn't signed with the Bills yet or played a down for them so I don't know if you're counting 2020 7th Round DB Dane Jackson and the obscure Sabre (and mostly Amerk) of the same name?

Nope, could be 3 sets of names now if he makes the team.

My bad, fake news, got my Smiths mixed up. Doug Smith played for the Sabres and I thought Doug Smith played dline for the Bills, alas, it was Don Smith, and yes I know another Don Smith was a rb for the Bills. There were two Doug Smiths that played in the NFL, one oline, the other dline, and they played at the same time of dline Don Smith.

Kicker trivia: Pete Gogolak and his brother Charley were the first soccer style PK'ers in pro football. John Leypoldt was not your usual PK. He made a LOT of tackles on his KO's, but I can't find that stat anywhere. Scott Norwood was cheered even after "wide right" but Booth Lustig (the 20 year old kicker with the 60 year old face) got beat up by irate Bills fans on Delaware Avenue after missing a FG in the 1966 AFL Championship game that would have sent the Bills to SB 1.

Disturbing trivia:

 

Other than OJ, at least three other former Bills (that I could find) have been charged with murder or attempted murder:

 

Jim Dunaway

Cierre Wood

Justin Bannan

Must have been a hell of a FG.....Bills lost that game 31-7.
