Opinion: Tyree Jackson is an ideal practice squad candidate

Following the 2019 NFL Draft and post-undrafted free-agent signing period, yours truly declared that former University at Buffalo quarterback Tyree Jackson was one of four UDFAs with the best chance to make the Buffalo Bills’ roster—either due to positional need or ability. In said article, I wrote that, despite Jackson’s lack of polish at the position, he was physically similar to Josh Allen and deserved to be developed as the team’s third quarterback. At the time, I think most fans of the team would have agreed with me. However, with three straight “subpar” preseason outings, many have all but given up on the young man’s development and aren’t even willing to sign him to the team’s practice squad.
