‘“Jaquan has been one of those guys who has exemplified understanding my role, and I’m going to stay within my role, but when my opportunity comes, I’m going to show you that I’m capable of really holding down the safety position if I get an opportunity,” defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said.’

Observations: NFL game proving to be not too big for Christian Benford
‘Until that time, the Bills have to prepare without White, who tore a knee ligament in the Thanksgiving game against New Orleans. For most of training camp, that’s meant third-year veteran Dane Jackson and rookie first-round draft pick Kaiir Elam running with the first team. Lately, however, rookie sixth-round pick Christian Benford has been getting some of those reps – an impressive rise up the depth chart for a player from Villanova.’

Bills safety Jaquan Johnson begins to shine with new found opportunities
‘With All-Pro safeties Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer anchoring the safety spot, the opportunities for Johnson to prove himself on that side of the ball haven’t always been there. But Johnson has found his role as a key member of the special teams unit. Earning him praise from the Bills coaching staff.’
JaQuan Johnson remaining patient
‘”This is one of those guys who feel like he’s capable of playing in the secondary as well and when he’s had some opportunities, even though it hasn’t been many. When he has had an opportunity to play in games he’s done a good job for us,” said Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. “Now because of the injury to Jordan he’s getting more reps and he’s showing that he’s more than capable if he’s called upon to play an extended period of time that he can get the job done. It’s been really good to watch him and his professionalism through this process knowing that I’m playing behind two really really good safeties and understanding my role.”‘
