Although a keen strategist, Levy is best regarded for his ability to mold the group of talented young players he inherited in 1986.

He also wants players to stay away from alcohol and caffeinated beverages.’

‘Following the death of Minnesota Vikings tackle Korey Stringer from heatstroke, Buffalo Bills coach Gregg Williams implored youth coaches and parents to educate themselves about heatstroke and heat exhaustion.’

‘The NFL is an elite brotherhood, a fraternity that will consist of just 1,643 of the most gifted and fortunate football players by the time training camps have once again done their evil weeding out. So when the Bills took a knee and listened to captain Henry Jones lead them in prayer, they were honoring one of their own.’
