Bills linemen bond while squeezing onto Buffalo-bound flight
It was quite the scene,” interior lineman Jack Anderson said Friday, recalling how he and fellow draft picks, Spencer Brown and Tommy Doyle, wound up on the same connecting flight from Chicago to report for the Bills’ rookie camp. Heads were being ducked. They were trying to figure out where we were going to fit, and definitely not next to someone in the middle seat,” Anderson added.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
After a 15.5-sack redshirt freshman season, Rousseau opted out in 2020 and became one of the bigger 2021 draft mysteries. He’s ultra-talented and has sky-high potential. But how fast will it come? The Bills’ pass rush metrics landed in the middle of the pack, and Rousseau can help. Even so, most of his production came when he played inside and rushed against slower guards and tackles. His edge rushing needs work but boy, he’s a gifted player.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Buffalo’s d-line has received a makeover. Basham joins Greg Rousseau as the newest members of that unit. Can we call them the Bash Brothers? Basham isn’t a slippery rusher and his arsenal of moves is limited. He can win with power, high effort and sneaky quickness, and can kick down inside. Nice player and a good addition.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
A long, shockingly athletic left tackle, Brown will struggle with power and can be knocked back too easily. But his light feet, stunning length (6-8 with nearly 35-inch arms) and strong effort are all traits you typically don’t find at the end of Round 3. When FCS canceled football in the fall, several big-name programs tried to vulture him as a transfer; Brown, however, stayed loyal to UNI. Keep an eye on this guy if he can learn to anchor.
