The Bills newest member of their pass rush has played with some pretty impressive defensive teammates in his career. A list that includes Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald.
But it’s the unit he plays with now that stands out to him.
“This is the best group I’ve been around as far as I can trust the guys when they’re in the game. They know football,” Floyd said to the press. “I’ve been on teams where you couldn’t really trust the guy behind me, and I had to play like the whole game.”
Floyd could see time both filling in for OLB Von Miller while he gets back on the field coming back from injury, as well as in the pass rush. He provides the Bills with that next man up to Miller that was missing last season, but still, he sees the potential of what the pass rush group can do.
Leonard and the defense have made their presence felt in practice during training camp, presenting the Buffalo offense with a tough challenge that has earned praise from the other side of the ball.
“Our defense is super good, and it’s good work to go against them,” said Rookie TE Dalton Kincaid. It’s iron sharpening iron out there, so those reps are valuable too, especially when we’re doing goal line.”
This is a good indication that the Bils defense is firing on its cylinders while also tasking the offense with overcoming their coverage, which will only help make them better as well.
