LB Nick Kwiatkoski
Stats: 57 games played, 184 tackles, 6 sacks, 4 passes defended, 4 forced fumbles, 1 interception, 13 tackles for loss
Nick Kwiatkowski could be the exact type of fill the Bills need for the Lorenzo Alexander role. The 26-year-old has done just about everything Alexander did for the Bills. He did play more inside middle linebacker, but he saw more playing time down the stretch last year for the Bears and thrived in coverage and rushing the passer. He allowed just 0.77 coverage yards per snap, 12th fewest among linebackers, and created 11 pressures in 37 pass rushes from Week 10-17 in 2019.
Oh, and he also played in 61 percent of his team’s special teams snaps. This has Zo all over it, but could his emergence price him out of the Bills?
