The Ryan brothers’ defensive schemes don’t work well without athletes who can get to the quarterback and chase down perimeter runs.

Leonard Floyd from Georgia is just the kind of player to insert into the Buffalo defense in order to satisfy these needs, and his athleticism will excite Bills’ fans from day one.

Wide receiver Josh Doctson will be an intriguing option here as a target opposite of Sammy Watkins, but ultimately the defensive minded coach and his brother will add a dynamic weapon to their favorite side of the ball.
