The Buffalo Bills have arguably the best safety duo in the league. That’s great for the team, but it’s not great for young players trying to earn playing time. Sure, it’s great for them to learn from the best, but let’s face it: Everyone in the NFL is a competitor, and everyone wants to play.
The truth is, however, that not everyone can play, and when a team has a pair of studs, there’s no reason to take them off the field unless they’re injured or the game’s result is no longer in doubt. That means that those young reserves have to earn reps in other ways, like on special teams.
