The Buffalo Bills continue their offseason workout program with Organized Team Activities (OTA), which begin at the team’s practice facilities today and continue on Tuesday, May 19, Thursday, May 21, and again from May 26-28 and June 1-4.
Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining a few key storylines to watch as the Bills gather for OTAs, including which veteran players are fighting to win a starting job—like left guard Alec Anderson (pictured below)—and which undrafted rookie free
agents could make a big impression in front of head coach Joe Brady and president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane.
Be sure to let us know which players and storylines you’re excited to track at OTAs in the comments section.
Previewing key storylines from OTAs
Organized Team Activities (OTAs) represent a golden opportunity for veterans like left guard Alec Anderson (pictured below) and punter Mitch Wishnowsky to state their case for winning a starting role. OTAs are also the next chance for Buffalo’s rookies to solidify their positions on the roster.
With OTAs beginning today, we identify a few veterans who could be fighting for their jobs at OTAs; offer up a list of undrafted rookie free agents like University of Pittsburgh running back Desmond Reid (pictured below) and offensive lineman Bruno Fina looking to play their way onto the roster; and get to know rookie fullback Jackson Acker.
