NFL Network is currently working their way through their annual list of the league’s top-100 players currently in the game.
The outlet has only counted their players from 100 to 41 so far. That list will continue next weekend. In that frame, Bills cornerback Tre’Davious White and wide receiver Cole Beasley were honored there at Nos. 95 and 96, respectively.
Instead of waiting like NFL Network, our friends at Touchdown Wire outright released their entire matching list, expect theirs is the top-101 players.
In it, four Bills players appear.
Here’s exactly who, where, and what was said about all four by the NFL Wire, including quarterback Josh Allen:
93. Micah Hyde, S, Buffalo Bills
The Bills most likely have the NFL’s best safety duo in Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer, and last season, it was Hyde who really stood out, allowing 15 catches on 27 targets for 143 yards, 46 yards after the catch, one touchdown, one interception, four pass breakups, and an opponent passer rating of 67.4. Hyde was great all over the field last season, playing 22 snaps on the defensive line, 284 in the box, 680 at free safety, 163 in the slot, and six at outside corner. But when it was time to break up the deep pass, Hyde was especially effective, as he showed against T.Y. Hilton of the Colts in Buffalo’s wild-card win.
46. Stefon Diggs, WR, Buffalo Bills
Since breaking out with the Minnesota Vikings a few seasons ago, Stefon Diggs has been one of the most impressive wide receivers to study. His combination of athleticism and footwork makes him such a difficult receiver to cover, as Diggs can sink into and out of breaks with the best in the game. This was something I highlighted a few years back when he was with the Vikings.
But last season with the Buffalo Bills Diggs enjoyed his beast year as a professional. He caught 147 passes for 1,846 yards and ten touchdowns, all of which represented career-high numbers. Part of what makes him so dangerous right now is the relationship he immediately forged with quarterback Josh Allen.
39. Tre’Davious White, CB, Buffalo Bills
The AFC East is slowly entering a cornerback arms race, and that leads us to our next member of the division to place on this list. Tre’Davious White has quickly become one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks thanks to a combination of veteran savvy and athleticism. He has the movement skills to stick on receivers running any route, but what stands out to me is his awareness in zone coverage situations.
15. Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills
Last season, Buffalo Bills passer Josh Allen took “the leap.” In his third year in the NFL — a season often termed critical by QB guru Bill Walsh — Allen led the Bills to the AFC Championship game and demonstrated that he can be among the elite quarterbacks in the league.
Beyond the ridiculous throws, the athleticism, and everything else Allen brings to the table the most notable aspect of his season was how he adjusted to the adjustments. After carving up man coverage early in the year Allen scuffled a bit in games against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tennessee Titans facing zone coverage looks. But he and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll made the adjustments to those coverages and by season’s end, Allen was just as impressive against those schemes.
