The Buffalo Bills had a pre-draft meeting with Notre Dame linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft. Owusu-Koramoah told the Bills’ website he did so and the report comes via Syracuse.com.
Owusu-Koramoah was also very complimentary of the Bills:
Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah says he's spoken to the #Bills.
"Crazy organization – crazy as in good. That's a program that I find myself that I'd fit perfectly into." (h/t @MadGlab for question).

In Sean McDermott’s defense, the Bills run a nickel scheme with two starting linebackers. With Tremaine Edmunds still on his rookie contract and Matt Milano re-signing this offseason, there isn’t a starting spot potentially waiting for Owusu-Koramoah in Buffalo.
However, McDermott does love his versatile players. The Draft Network writes that Owusu-Koramoah is a three-down player what can “move to box safety in sub packages.” There’s a lot that he could do for the Bills.
Also worth noting is Owusu-Koramoah’s pre-draft stock. Currently some predict him as high as a first-round pick. If the Bills want him, they might have to use the No. 30 overall pick… if he’s even there.
ESPN NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. recently pegged Owusu-Koramoah as the No. 23 pick to the Jets in his latest mock draft.
