With the fifth-round (163rd overall) pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills selected Matt Milano, who entered the league as a converted safety and stepped directly into Sean McDermott’s defensive system. Over nine seasons in Buffalo, Milano evolved into the vital, sideline-to-sideline core of the Bills' linebacker corps.

Milano relied on DB-caliber movement skills, processing speed, and closing acceleration. Operating primarily as an off-ball weakside linebacker (WILL), his defining strength was his range in coverage—matching up with tight ends down seam routes, closing down screen passes before they could blossom, and triggering downhill in the run game to scrape through interior gaps.

Milano reached the peak of his career in 2022, putting together one of the most complete off-ball linebacker seasons in modern franchise history. Playing in 15 games, he registered 99 total tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 11 passes defensed, three interceptions (including a pick-six against Tennessee), and two fumble recoveries. His play earned him First-Team All-Pro honors and his first career Pro Bowl selection.

Despite facing mid-career injury setbacks—including a fractured leg in 2023 and a torn bicep in 2024—Milano remained a key leader on defense, battling back to log 12 starts in 2025. Through the 2025 season, Milano played in 106 regular-season games (85 starts) for Buffalo, accumulating 571 total tackles (374 solo), 14.0 sacks, 62 tackles for loss, 10 interceptions, 39 passes defensed, 11 fumble recoveries, and four forced fumbles.

This season, the Buffalo Bills will begin play in their new facility, Highmark Stadium, which will include the Wall of Fame, which began in 1980.  However, its inaugural member will not be honored in the new facility.

O.J. Simpson, who played for the Bills from 1969 to 1977, was the first overall pick in 1969, and in 1973, the Running Back would become the first player in league history to exceed 2,000 Rushing Yards in a season.  That season, Simpson won the MVP and the Offensive Player of the Year.  He was also a five-time First Team All-Pro, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, and a four-time rushing leader, and in 1985, he entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. 

Simpson went on to become a star in movies and television, but he was charged with the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, in 1994.  While he was found not guilty, he was held liable in a civil suit.  At the time, there was pressure on the organization to remove Simpson from the Wall of Fame, but the team kept his name on display.  This will not be the case in Highmark Stadium.

In a statement from COO Pete Guelli, he said that Simpson’s removal from the physical Wall of Fame was:

“We have made an organizational decision that he is not a fit to display inside our new stadium and family circle.”

Specifically, the Family Circle will be a year-round plaza outside the stadium’s entrance where the plaques honoring the greats will be displayed. 

Notably, Simpson is still recognized as a member of the Wall of Fame on the team’s website.

Quarterback Josh Allen rose to #22 from #30. 

Wide Receiver Stefon Diggs rocketed to #29 from #45.  He is now with the Houston Texans.

The only new entrant is three-time Offensive Tackle Dion Dawkins, who first appears at #39.

Notably, Tremaine Edmunds has been dropped off the list.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Drafted in the second round (63rd overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft from Temple, Dion Dawkins joined Western New York as a versatile, athletic lineman. He took over the starting left tackle position midway through his rookie season and quickly became a key part of Buffalo's rebuilding efforts, serving as the primary protector for star quarterback Josh Allen.

Dawkins, standing 6 feet 5 inches and weighing 320 pounds, combines powerful upper-body strength with agile footwork to secure the edges of Buffalo's passing game. As a left tackle in an offense that requires the quarterback to extend plays beyond the pocket, he is adept at holding blocks well past standard timing. In the running game, his broad frame and explosive leg movement enable him to push past edge defenders, creating large openings on perimeter sweeps and zone-read plays.

Dawkins secured the starting left tackle position outright during his 2017 rookie season, starting 11 games and demonstrating he could compete with top pass rushers. By 2018, he had cemented his role on the blind side full-time, initiating a streak of consistent performance as Buffalo developed its offense around Allen.

His rise to elite status was confirmed in 2021 when he made his first career Pro Bowl while protecting Allen during an AFC East-winning season. Dawkins repeated this success in 2022 and 2023, earning consecutive Pro Bowl honors and regularly posting double-digit Approximate Value scores, all while leading one of the league's highest-scoring offenses.

Dawkins maintained his elite performance into 2024, starting 16 games and securing his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl. In 2025, he reached new personal milestones. Starting 15 games, he delivered an outstanding pass-blocking season, putting minimal pressure on Allen and effectively blocking for a versatile run game. His excellence earned him his fifth straight Pro Bowl selection, reaffirming his status among the top offensive tackles of his era. Additionally, Dawkins was recognized for his character and leadership, being named the Bills' Walter Payton Man of the Year Club Winner for the fourth year in a row.

Entering 2026, Dawkins is a respected locker room leader and franchise cornerstone. Over nine seasons in Buffalo (2017–2025), he played 143 games (137 starts) and scored two touchdown catches as an eligible receiver.

Kyle Williams has been referred to as the “heart and soul” of the Buffalo Bills throughout his lengthy tenure in Western New York and while that is certainly a compliment there are many who are unaware of his talent as the Bills were not exactly potent during his playing days.

A mid round pick from LSU, Kyle Williams joined Buffalo in the 2006 season and this would be the only team he would ever play for over his 13 year NFL career.  The Defensive Tackle always left it all on the gridiron where he was not just the aforementioned heart of the team but was their anchor.  He quietly was chosen for six Pro Bowls and he played 183 Games recording 48.5 Quarterback Sacks with 611 Tackles.

The term “Mountain of a Man” is often misused, but for the 375-pound Ted Washington, that was accurate.

“Mount Washington” was San Francisco’s late First Round Pick in 1991, and became their starting Nose Tackle in his second season.  Traded to the Denver Broncos in 1994, Washington signed with the Buffalo Bills in 1995 where he had the best run of his career.  With Buffalo, Washington went to three of his four Pro Bowls and became known as one of the best rush defenders in football.  With his immense size, it was an arduous task, and once he got a hand on you, chances were that you were going to hit the dirt.

Washington’s best season was in 2001, his first of two seasons with Chicago where he was a First Team All-Pro and finished in the top ten in Approximate Value.  He later was with New England, where he won a Super Bowl (XXXVIII) and closed out his career with two seasons each in Oakland and Cleveland.  Considering his immense stature, the durability to last until 38 is a testament to Washington’s physical presence. 

One of Football’s great Nose Tackles, Fred Smerlas began his pro career with the Buffalo Bills after he was chosen in the Second Round of the 1979 Draft.

The Boston College product was an instant defensive star for the Bills, and his blue-collar look and style fit perfectly with the rust belt fans of Western New York.  Smerlas was a punishing interior defender and went to four straight Pro Bowls (1980-83), which coincidentally saw the Bills go from playoff to contenders to cellar dwellers.   As the Bills rebuilt through the rest of the 1980s, the constant was Smerlas, who was still there when the team rebuilt themselves to eventual Super Bowl contenders, though he was not there when they finally reached one as Smerlas played his last game in Buffalo in 1989.  He finished his career as a veteran depth player with a year in San Francisco and two in New England.

Smerlas was named to the Bills Wall of Fame, and his tenacity and leadership were forever remembered by those who saw him play.

One of the most successful Cornerbacks in Ohio State history, Antoine Winfield was an All-American who won both the Jim Thorpe Award and Jack Tatum Trophy in 1998, which propelled him to a First Round Pick where he landed in nearby Buffalo.

The Bills used him as the third Corner as a rookie, but he was a starter thereafter and showcased his elite tackling and man-to-man coverage skills over the next four seasons.  Winfield started as a Bill, but it was in Minnesota purple that he became a star.  He signed with the Vikings in 2004, where he his versatility shone through.

Winfield was a Viking from 2004 to 2012, where he had 21 of his 27 Interceptions.  He also had a three-year run of Pro Bowls (2008-10), which included a Second-Team All-Pro in 2008. He had always been a physical player, but in the late 2000s, he finally got his due.

Winfield retired after the 2012 Season with 1,054 Tackles and an imprint on everyone he delivered them to.

That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.

Last year, Buffalo made it into the playoffs, making it to the second round. 2022 yielded one new entrant to the Top 50, and one elevation.

As always, we present our top five, which had no changes.

1. Bruce Smith

2. Thurman Thomas

Quarterback, Josh Allen, vaults eight spots to #30. This was the second year in a row that he led the NFL in Approximate Value.

The lone debut is Wide Receiver, Stefon Diggs, who enters at #45. He has been a Pro Bowler all three of his Bills campaigns.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

In March 2020, the Buffalo Bills acquired Stefon Diggs after five successful seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. He was brought in for four draft picks, including a first-round selection. This trade sparked a significant transformation for both Diggs and the franchise, giving quarterback Josh Allen a top-tier receiver and quickly boosting Buffalo’s passing game into one of the most formidable aerial offenses in the league.

Diggs revolutionized elite route-running with precise footwork, quick bursts, and clever double-moves. Excelling at gaining separation early in his routes, he paired dependable, soft hands with intense competitiveness in contested catches. Whether lining up wide or in the slot, Diggs provided Allen with a reliable target capable of winning quick-slant duels under pressure, stretching defenses deep down the sideline, or extending plays after catching the ball.

Before joining the Bills, Diggs's career high was 1,130 receiving yards in a single season. His first season with Buffalo in 2020 surpassed those personal bests dramatically. Building quick rapport with Allen, Diggs led the NFL in receptions (127) and receiving yards (1,535), marking the first time a Bills player achieved the league’s receiving double crown. His outstanding performance earned him his first Pro Bowl and First-Team All-Pro honors, cementing his role as the unquestioned, primary offensive playmaker.

Diggs upheld his elite performance over the next three seasons, leading Buffalo to back-to-back AFC East championships. In 2021, he achieved 103 receptions for 1,225 yards and a career-high 10 receiving touchdowns. He continued to improve in 2022, accumulating 108 catches for 1,429 yards and 11 touchdowns.

He capped off his Bills tenure in 2023 by tallying 107 catches for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns, securing his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl selection in four years in Buffalo. Across every single season in Western New York, Diggs surpassed 100 receptions and 1,100 receiving yards.

Although Buffalo achieved four consecutive playoff appearances and won division titles, they could not reach the Super Bowl. In April 2024, the Bills traded Diggs to the Houston Texans in a major deal. During his four seasons with the Bills (2020–2023), Diggs played in 65 regular-season games, totaling 449 receptions, 5,372 receiving yards, and 37 touchdowns, leaving a lasting legacy in one of the franchise's most productive offensive periods.

Last year, Buffalo had an excellent season, reaching the AFC Championship, and are poised another run for the Super Bowl in 2022.

Last year, has led to some significant elevations on our list and two new entrants.

As always, we present our top five, which did not change from last year.

Superstar Quarterback, Josh Allen, makes his first appearance on the list at #38.  The other new addition is Linebacker, Tremaine Edmunds, who takes the last spot at #50.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Drafted seventh overall in 2018 from Wyoming, Josh Allen entered Western New York as a promising prospect with strong arm skills and athletic ability. Since Jim Kelly's retirement in 1996, Buffalo had been seeking a franchise quarterback for more than twenty years. Despite initial doubts about his passing accuracy, Allen soon became one of the most dynamic and exciting dual-threat quarterbacks of his era.

Allen merges the physique of a tight end with a rocket arm that can deliver throws from any angle. With fearless mobility, he becomes a challenging opponent in short-yardage and red-zone scenarios, often finishing runs with hurdle jumps and heavy shoulder contact. As a passer, he has honed elite touch on boundary throws and intermediate seam routes, adjusting his arm angles on the move while keeping velocity for long passes.

Allen gradually rose to prominence during his 2018 rookie season, becoming the starting quarterback early on. In 11 starts, he passed for 2,074 yards and 10 touchdowns, while also showcasing his mobility with 631 rushing yards and eight rushing scores. By 2019, Allen had solidified his role as the team's primary quarterback, throwing for 3,089 yards and 20 touchdowns, plus nine rushing touchdowns, leading Buffalo to a 10-6 record and their first playoff appearance in several years.

Allen reached elite status in 2020 with a standout year. He set franchise records by passing for 4,544 yards and 37 touchdowns, along with rushing for eight touchdowns. Leading the Bills to a 13–3 record and reaching the AFC Championship, Allen was selected to his first Pro Bowl and was the runner-up in AP NFL MVP voting.

Allen maintained a high standard in 2021 and 2022, establishing Buffalo as a regular AFC contender. In 2021, he passed for 4,407 yards and 36 touchdowns, also rushing for a career-best 763 yards. In 2022, he recorded 4,283 passing yards, 35 touchdowns, and 762 rushing yards with seven rushing scores. He led the NFL in Approximate Value (19) and helped Buffalo return to the playoffs.

In 2023, Allen demonstrated his dual-threat ability near the goal line, tying the NFL single-season record with 15 rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. He also threw for 4,306 yards and 29 touchdowns, guiding Buffalo to another AFC East division crown and placing fifth in MVP voting.

His 2024 MVP campaign showcased exceptional efficiency and command. Despite changes in his receiving group, Allen guided the Bills to a 13-4 record, passing for 3,731 yards, 28 touchdowns, and only six interceptions. He also contributed 531 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns. Leading the NFL with a 77.3 QBR and a 101.4 passer rating, Allen received his first AP NFL MVP award and secured his second Pro Bowl selection.

The 2025 season saw Allen further refine his mastery of Buffalo's offense. Playing all 17 regular-season games, he threw for 3,668 yards and 25 touchdowns while completing a career-high 69.3% of his passes. On the ground, Allen remained an unstoppable goal-line force, rushing for 579 yards and 14 touchdowns, securing his fourth career Pro Bowl selection and guiding the Bills to another AFC East division crown.

Allen is the only player in NFL history to record four consecutive seasons with at least 40 total touchdowns, holding the NFL record for the most total touchdowns through a player's first eight seasons.

Entering the 2026 season—his ninth in Buffalo—Allen holds franchise records with 30,102 passing yards, 220 touchdown passes, and 79 rushing touchdowns across 128 regular-season games.  If Allen can lead Buffalo to their first Super Bowl win, he could become the top man on this list.

2024 Pre-Season Rank #39, 2023 Pre-Season Rank #69, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #98, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #117.  Peak Period: 2020-24.

What Josh Allen accomplished last season was incredible. 

The Buffalo Bills entered the year battered and bruised, and Allen took the team on his back and brought them to the AFC Championship game, where they fell 32-29 to the Kansas City Chiefs.  Allen won the 2024 MVP, having thrown 3,731 Yards with a 28-6 TD-INT ratio, with 531 Rushing Yards and 12 TDs. 

The MVP was not unexpected for Allen, who has been one of the game’s top dual-threat QBs since 2020, and there is no reason to think he can’t do it again.  The Hall looks for more from a QB, and that comes with a Super Bowl, or at the very least, a Super Bowl appearance.  Allen and the Bills are capable of that, and when that happens, the Hall will come calling.

The new entry is Cornerback, Tre’Davious Whitewho enters at #48.

Notably, Quarterback, Josh Allen and Linebacker, Tremaine Edmunds were closing in on the top 50 but did not make it.  Similar 2021 seasons will put both on the list on out next update.

We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.

Drafted 27th overall in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft out of LSU, Tre'Davious White became a cornerstone for general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott's defensive culture change. Quickly stepping onto the boundary as the secondary's premier shutdown option, White grew into one of the most complete cornerbacks in the NFL.

White combined disciplined footwork, sharp instincts, and fluid hip mechanics. Operating as a boundary press-man and zone technician, his defining trait was route recognition; he routinely anticipated breaks, suffocated receiver releases at the line of scrimmage, and closed on the football with elite ball-tracking skills.

After earning PFWA All-Rookie Team honors in 2017 (four interceptions) with a second-place finish for the Defensive Rookie of the Year, and solidifying his status in 2018, White produced an elite season in 2019. Serving as the focal point of Buffalo's top-ranked pass defense, White tied for the NFL lead with six interceptions, did not allow a single touchdown catch in coverage all season, and generated 18 Approximate Value (AV)—fifth-most among all NFL players that year. His dominance earned him First-Team All-Pro honors and his first Pro Bowl selection, cementing his status as arguably the finest cornerback in football.

He followed that peak with another dominant campaign in 2020, recording three interceptions, 1.5 sacks, and 11 passes defensed across 14 starts to capture his second consecutive Pro Bowl selection and Second-Team All-Pro honors.

White's momentum was derailed by severe injuries—a torn ACL in late 2021 followed by an Achilles tear in early 2023. After being released in early 2024, White spent the 2024 season with the Rams and Ravens. In April 2025, White made a celebrated return to Western New York, signing a one-year contract to rejoin the Bills. Serving as a key veteran presence in the secondary during the 2025 campaign, White appeared in a rotational and starting capacity, tallying 40 total tackles, 10 passes defensed, and an interception while helping guide Buffalo back to the postseason.

With the Bills, White had 19 interceptions and 351 combined tackles.

Ron McDole’s professional football career got off to a slow start as the former Nebraska Cornhusker did not accomplish much in 1961 as a rookie with the St. Louis Cardinals.  1962 was worse, as he migrated to the Houston Oilers of the American Football League and played even less.

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present the second revision of our top 50 Buffalo Bills of all-time.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League. 

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

This one went a complete overhaul, which was reflected in our top five as seen below.

The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in this article.  They are:

1. Bruce Smith

2. Thurman Thomas

3. O.J. Simpson

4. Bart Starr

5. Andre Reed

O.J. Simpson moved up from #5, which moved Jim Kelly and Andre Reed down one spot.

We had a colossal error in that former Fullback, Cookie Gilchrist was omitted from our first list.  He appears at #16.  

Former Running Back, Joe Cribbs also should have been on our initial top 50.  He enters at #34.  Another Running Back, LeSean McCoy debuts at #39. 

The other additions are Defensive End, Mario Williams (#44), Linebacker, Bryce Paup (#45), Linebacker, John Tracey (#46) and Defensive Tackle, Marcell Dareus (#48).

We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.

Following a high-profile offseason blockbuster trade in March 2015 that sent him from Philadelphia to Buffalo, LeSean "Shady" McCoy stepped into the Bills' backfield as an immediate franchise cornerstone. Bringing elite open-field agility to Western New York, McCoy anchored Buffalo’s ground game across four seasons.

McCoy used exceptional lateral agility, quick jump-cuts, and deceptive stop-and-start acceleration. As a versatile dual-threat back from single-back and shotgun formations, his main on-film skill was avoiding unblocked defenders in tight spaces. This enabled him to cut back against over-pursuing defenses and turn otherwise dead plays into positive yardage.

McCoy earned a Pro Bowl selection in each of his first three seasons with the Bills (2015–2017). In 2015, despite being sidelined for four games due to injury, he amassed 1,187 yards from scrimmage over 12 starts. His career-best performance with the Bills came in 2016, when he rushed for 1,267 yards at 5.4 yards per carry, scored 14 touchdowns, and totaled 1,623 yards from scrimmage.

In 2017, with first-year head coach Sean McDermott, McCoy gained 1,138 rushing yards and totaled 1,586 yards from scrimmage, becoming the key offensive player that ended Buffalo's 17-year playoff drought. His standout moment was during the famous "Snow Bowl" versus Indianapolis, where he rushed for a season-best 156 yards and scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime.

Following an offensive line overhaul that led to a drop in 2018 (514 rushing yards), McCoy was released before the 2019 season. He later won Super Bowl titles with the Kansas City Chiefs (2019) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2020) before retiring.

McCoy was the NFL’s top rushing leader throughout the 2010s, with 10,434 yards from 2010 to 2019. During his four seasons with the Bills (2015–2018), he played in 56 of 57 regular-season games, earning 3,814 rushing yards, 1,334 receiving yards, and totaling 5,148 yards from scrimmage, along with 30 touchdowns.
