Defensive end: Jerry Hughes and Mario Williams

The acquisition of Jerry Hughes will go down as one of the best trades in team history. Hughes has been a terror on the defensive line for Buffalo, putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks consistently since arriving in western New York in 2013. He led the Bills with 46.5 sacks during this decade.

During his four years in Buffalo, Mario Williams showed why he was such a prized free-agent signing for the Bills. He registered 43 sacks during this time. However, his time in Buffalo fell apart with conflicts with Rex Ryan. After three consecutive double-digit sack seasons, the combination of Williams with Ryan ultimately could not work out. However, his time in Buffalo pre-Ryan was impressive, to say the least, as he earned All-Pro honors in 2014.
