Not too long ago, undrafted rookie free agent Reggie Gilliam was apparently involved in a “great battle” for the fullback spot with Patrick DiMarco according to Buffalo Bills special teams coordinator Heath Farwell. A recent development suggests that this battle might be over.
Gilliam had been wearing number 41 with the Bills to go along with his listing as a fullback. That changed on September 1 when it was learned Gilliam had swapped jerseys to number 86. Running backs and fullbacks can’t wear numbers in the 80s, per league rules.
