Some good nuggets about chemistry and what motivates him. It is later in the article

Until Josh, Hughes has been my favorite and the best Bill in the last ten years overall. From talent, production, effort, versus the pass and the run, going against the team's best linemen week in week out, chasing down players all the way across the field and sometimes even tackling WR after he had rushed the passer because he is the only guy that plays to the whistle every play. Extremely misunderstood, undervalued and over-criticized when he used to get a few extra penalties, too.

 

Thanks for the link. He's also a smart, thoughtful, great guy and teammate. Glad this is happening for him.

Agreed to all of this .. always worked his tail off even on a series of bad teams. Dealt with constant regime changes and kept plugging. Has to be one of the most lopsided trades the Bills have ever made.

Terry Pegula mentioned Hughes in a recent podcast as one of the player personalities that stood out to him.

 

Man you gotta love it ! 

 

Go big player Hughes!!!

Hughes has to be one of the most furiously loyal team guy ever! He must be fun to have around when things get heated... and an occasional PITA when things are calm ha ha

[Let's Go Buffalo]

Hughes has been a high motor guy ever since his days at TCU. I've always had a lot of respect for his work ethic, which is not surprising coming from high character coaches like Patterson, Frazier, and McDermott....to name a few. He's always been an easy guy to root for.

I'm going to be really sad when Jerry Hughes retires/no longer a Buffalo Bill. Him, Eric Wood, and Meatball were the few bright spots and stalwarts for the tail half of the drought.

JEEEEEERRRRRRY!!!!  Couldn’t have said it better myself. Perfectly stated.  That’s my guy.  He took the baton from Fred and is running down the final stretch ready to hand it off to Josh.

 
Jordan Poyer has emerged as a dark horse in the race for #1 in my heart.  Josh, Jerry then Poyer atm.

The fact he has stuck around with this regime says a lot. I love his intensity and work ethic. Not to mention my kids met him and he was really nice.... that's cool for us.
