Bills Special Teams Great Mark Pike Has Died
Mark Pike, a versatile defensive player and special teams player for the legendary 1990s Bills, has died. He was 57.
Pike passed away after a battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma during the fall. His condition was complicated by a recent bout with COVID-19, which led to pneumonia, the Bills release says.
Buffalo selected Pike out of Georgia Tech in the seventh round of the 1986 NFL draft. He played his entire 13-year NFL career with the franchise and retired after the '98 season.
