The Bills have announced their first undrafted rookie free agent signing following the 2020 NFL Draft. It’s linebacker Mike Bell.

Bell is a 6-foot-3, 220 pound defender who played his college ball at Fresno State. He also showed a versatility at school playing safety. Current Bill Matt Milano did the same at Boston College.

During his collegiate career Bell totaled 199 tackles, nine for loss, four interceptions, 12 passes defensed and one forced fumble.

The Bills did not select a linebacker or safety at the recent draft, but he’ll play with the Bills at linebacker. Per the team’s website, Bell held a tryout with the Bills following the draft.

Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane said following the draft it might take time to get UDFAs signed because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic making workouts and contract signing more difficult currently.
