The Bills like their versatility on both sides of the ball and chatted with an under-the-radar prospect prior to the 2020 NFL Draft who has plenty of that.
According to Draft Wire, the Bills have spoken to Memphis linebacker Austin Hall:
#Memphis LB Austin Hall held a Pro Day. He's had communication w/ the #Steelers, #Colts, #Chiefs, #Cowboys, #Raiders & #Bills. #Packers & #49ers have also reached out.
6'1, 220.

Very much an unknown prospect, Hall is likely to be a late-round pick or even undrafted. But as the graphic show above, he played all over the defense. At Memphis, he played a position that has made him have to know the roles of safety, slot corner, and linebacker. While he wouldn’t come in and start right away, Hall could be a Lorenzo Alexander type of player for the Bills defense down the road if the team can develop his skillset.
In 2019, Hall had 75 tackles, nine for loss, 2.5 sacks, six passes defended and two interceptions. He was named an All-ACC Honorable Mention.
