Return to preferred position could take Bills’ Greg Rousseau to next level
‘The 2021 first-round pick played almost exclusively on the left side during his first two NFL seasons, but with Leonard Floyd and Von Miller favoring that position, Rousseau was moved around frequently last season, finishing with five sacks, down from eight in 2022.

He needed more power to his punches and better placement, he lunged in both pass protection and the run game, and he had inconsistency in his set angles.
