Choice Blog 3

For my third and final blog I would like to talk about some of my favorite Buffalo Bills players. I have decided to highlight my top three. Coming in at number 3 is Bills’ strong safety George Wilson. Wilson is a class act, and his story to the NFL is something that any sports fan has just gotta love. He came into the Bills organization as an undrafted free agent wide receiver. Former head coach Dick Jauron gave him a shot at playing defensive back, and he hasn’t looked back, on his way to becoming one of the Bills biggest playmakers on defense. I remember witnessing his pick 6 against the Cowboys on Monday night football in the first start of his career, and immediately loving the energy and passion that he plays the game with. Off the field he is extremely active in the community, and is someone that you don’t hear about much, simply because he isn’t always getting in trouble with the law. Next, my number two favorite player on the Bills is nose tackle Kyle Williams. Kyle is a former fifth round draft pick by the Bills, and not much was expected out of him coming out of college. However, like Wilson, Williams sort of flew under the radar, kept his mouth shut, and just kept working to finally earn himself a starting spot right in the middle of the Bills defense.  Being a football player, these are the players that I appreciate the most, the low profile, hard workers. And finally coming in at number 1 is center Eric Wood. Another guy that you don’t hear much about, but that is an extremely important piece of the Bills team. I remember from the second we drafted him, just loving his style of play. He keeps his mouth shut, and plays hard every play. Also, he is a blue collar player for a blue collar city which makes him an instant favorite amongst the fans But above all else, he is nasty. I just love watching him finish his blocks and then look for someone else to pop. That’s by far my favorite aspect of his game. Also, his resilience has been phenomenal during his short career so far in Buffalo. After sustaining a leg injury that appeared to be career threatening, he was playing football again next fall and appeared to be at full strength.
