The Buffalo Bills under general manager/team president Brandon Beane have found quite a few late-round gems in the NFL Draft. It's been a point of joking—with some doses of seriousness—that Beane's late-round draft picks have almost been more effective than his premium picks.
At cornerback, for example, the Bills drafted Christian Benford in the sixth round after already having selected Kaiir Elam in round one back in the 2022 NFL Draft. It's fortunate that they did, too, because Elam has been a complete bust in his professional career, while Benford has risen to near-stardom in his.
So, when the Bills took a corner in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft and then backed it up with another corner in the sixth round of the same draft, there were some feelings of deja vu among the fanbase. Especially when the sixth-round pick earned a starting gig in Week One, albeit under much different circumstances, many fans thought that Beane had once again found a late-round steal at corner.
In today's installment of "91 players in 91 days," we discuss that sixth-round steal, a player whose brief time on the field in 2025 stands as a stark reminder of how quickly things can change in the NFL.
