DT Ed Oliver
Following some recent offseason headlines, Ed Oliver is going to want to make them a thing of the past with a productive 2020 season. But even without those, Oliver should still push for a better season.
In 2020, Oliver was a rookie and there certainly seemed to be a learning curve. Toward the middle of the year, he finally started to flash the talents that made him a first-round pick. Oliver finished his first season with a forced fumble and five sacks. He’s essentially being tasked with replacing Jordan Phillips next season, though. Phillips led the Bills with 9.5 sacks a year ago. Buffalo didn’t keep Phillips directly because of Oliver. The team wanted their first rounder to get more playing time. It’s a plan that makes sense on paper, but Oliver has to show that the front office was right for making that decision.
Plus, in general, top-tier players should take a leap in stats from their rookie season to Year 2. Make it happen.
