11 things to know about new Bills QB Mitchell Trubisky

Things to know about Buffalo Bills QB Mitchell Trubisky.

There’s a new quarterback in town.

Former first-round pick of the Bears in Mitchell Trubisky is now a member of the Bills. He signed a one-year deal with the team this past week. Considering he was one of the top picks in his draft class, you know him well already.

But why not get to know him a bit more since he’s making a stop in Orchard Park?

No. 2 pick

The main reason folks know Trubisky is because he was a first-round pick. Not only that, a top-overall one at the No. 2 selection at the 2017 NFL Draft.

… Not only that, he isn’t quite a draft bust yet, but hindsight is 20/20…

The only players selected before Trubisky at that draft was Browns pass rusher Myles Garrett. Trusbisky was QB1 off the board. Considering he’s now Josh Allen’s backup? Things clearly didn’t go according to plan.

The hard read for the Beats: He was drafted before both Texans’ No. 12 pick, QB Deshaun Watson, and the Chiefs’ No. 10 pick (which was acquired in a trade with Buffalo), QB Patrick Mahomes.
