Rafael Bush played a vital role as a reserve for the Buffalo Bills in 2018. He was a backup safety, but by the end of the year, he was also the team’s nickel corner thanks to multiple injuries (and plenty of ineffective play) at the corner position. So, when the veteran decided just before the opening of training camp that it was time to retire, the Bills had to act swiftly to find a replacement.
They found a perfect veteran to replace Bush—one who has plenty of experience working with head coach Sean McDermott.
