The Buffalo Bills are bringing back former Texas A&M linebacker Tyrel Dodson for another season. Dodson went undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft before catching on with the Bills where he’s been for the past few years.
While in Buffalo, Dodson served as the main backup to Tremaine Edmunds and was a core special teamer. During his time with the Bills, he’s tallied 58 total tackles, two sacks, and 11 special teams tackles. Now that Edmunds has signed with the Chicago Bears that will give Dodson a chance to compete for a starting spot.
Even though he was passed over by all 32 teams seven times he was able to eventually work his way on the Bills game day roster and carved out a pretty good career to this point. Considering the average length of an NFL career is 3.3 years and even shorter for Linebackers (2.97) Dodson will be entering his fifth year as a regular contributor. That alone is worth praise.
