Buffalo Bills

Camp location: St. John Fisher College, Pittsford, New York

Key dates:

  • Rookies report: 28th July
  • Veterans report: 29th July
  • Preseason opener: August 13th vs Indianapolis Colts.

Keep an eye out: The Bills have 20 players returning for the 2016 season alongside coach Rex Ryan who is back for a second year in charge, so expectations are high for Buffalo to improve on last years’ 8-8 record. Given that twin brother Rob Ryan is joining Rex on the coaching team, expect some colourful soundbites in press conferences. On the football side, rookie linebacker Reggie Ragland will be an interesting prospect to follow, especially considering that first rounder Shaq Lawson will be out with injury for much of the season.
