The Bills brought in a few players to change the face of their defense, with Gardner-Johnson at the top of the list.

The Bills selected Dorian Williams with the No. 91 overall pick in 2023 and he is finally getting his chance to become a signficant contributor.

The Bills' running back room should be one of the best in the NFL once again in 2026.

Defensive tackle remains a position of need for the Bills and they could fill it with Cincinnati Bengals' T.J. Slaton Jr.

Joe Andreessen is an under-the-radar candidate to play meaningful snaps for the Bills' defense this season.
