Khalil Mack attended UB but he is from Florida. The only one other all-Buffalo player on the Bills was WR Naaman Roosevelt. But actually the Bills do bring in more UB players than any other NFL team. There were 4 other Bulls besides Andreesen at the tryout. (None were signed.) And both Cam Lewis and Ja'Marcus Ingram were UB Bulls.

Yeo the bills always have the most presence at the UB pro day 

 

But I think 15 teams came this year..  in a weak year for UB

 

They produce football players... Not higher end athletes typically... So they are one of the bigger schools for undrafted free agents and mini camp tryouts 

 

Not a lot of 4.3 40s... But tried and true football players 

 

Even Alex neutz who I think was on the Bengals practice squad for a bit... Western New York boy... Was a freak 

 

He just battled addiction

Yea he was super talented.. legitimate NFL talent 

 

But he got hurt his sophomore year at UB I believe and got addicted to pain killers 

 

Played with the addiction through his NFL career ... But he was an NFL talent from wny

Good stuff! I love that the Bills so often do this with a UB guy or two on the 90.

Why couldn’t they have done this with Mack.

Because they thought they needed an elite WR to help make EJ Manual look better. And if Sammy Watkins didn't have a broken bone in his foot that wouldn't heal right, who knows how that would have worked out?

With that kind of athleticism, he could become an elite gunner on ST. Maybe he replaces Siran Neal, also an incredible athlete with little chance to crack the defensive rotation.
