It’s a little disappointing when the most reliable Buffalo Bills’ rookie last season was Adolphus Washington, considering he didn’t even see that much action last year. Entering the 2017 season, Washington will have more experience than any other Bills’ 2016 rookie.
Looking at last year’s rookies, no one was really given a shot to prove anything. If you don’t include special teams, Washington led the way with 330 snaps. Shaq Lawson and Kevon Seymour were given similar opportunities, with 237 and 284 snaps on defense respectively. Seymour was a part of 190 special teams snaps, though.
Jonathan Williams took 92 snaps on offense and 55 on special teams, while Cardale Jones only took 19 snaps in the season finale.
