‘”I love it, man,” Bills safety Micah Hyde said. “I love it. Just talking to Brandon every day, I see his spirit. It’s tough being on the practice squad. People think they practice a few times a week and get paid, they should be fine. He really does go out there and work hard with scout team and stuff like that, getting hit on Thursdays when we put the pads on. Now it paid off, he gets called up. He’s not going to be complacent. He knows he has a lot to work for.”‘
