So many too choose from...

 

What comes to mind right now: Robb Riddick. Whenever Marv Levy had a short yardage situation, he sent in Robb Riddick. It almost always paid off.

RIP Robb... lots of struggles for that poor guy, I think CTE might have been in play... but nevertheless a really nice player for us.

Then:  Shane Nelson.   So solid in the shadow of Haslett and Smerlas

 

A Few Days Ago:  Stevie Johnson.  Polarizing figure, never got proper credit for performance because of big personality and shenanigans.

 

Now:  Sean McDermott.  Gets annually dragged through the mud for bringing this team to a consistent level of success unimaginable before his arrival.

 

Honorable Mention:  Joe Ferguson.  Still love you Fergie!

Not a complete sleeper but Eric Wood got a raw deal health wise. With Josh taking over he would've rightfully earned more pro bowls and been looked at league wide as a one of the top centers in the league. Center is a position where guys get better older and reputations build. Right as he was moving into that time it ended which was really unfortunate.

 

Robert Woods I think was completely undervalued by the team and you saw once he had a QB the guy could ball quite well. Not necessarily underrated by the fans or league, but the Bills entered the NFL draft with Woods & Goodwin and instead of staying when they already had quality WR's and drafting BPA cough cough Mike Evans they wasted draft picks. Sorry rant over, Bobby Woods never got his due from this org

Ohhh, I didn't know he passed. Now I am sad.

 

Reminiscing.... "Robb Riddick 15 TDs 1988"

Wood and Woods are good ones, no pun intended.  Would have loved to see Woods playing in a Josh Allen offense

HOFer if he had better QB for most of career 

He played with Jim Kelly , Doug flutie and Drew bledsoe

 

Josh Gordon went for 1700 yards with ghosts of quarterbacks none of which we're close to the three I named 

 

He's a world class talent who was inconsistent his entire career and that wasn't going to change with anybody... Andre Johnson played with Matt schaub most of his career and has 14,000 yards 

 

And bledsoe and flutie could force feed a wide receiver... He's not magically getting 4,000 more yards with his injury problems and inconsistency 

 

Bills fans always want to look back and to think what could have been.. but he absolutely is what he is 

 

He was a top 5/8 wide receiver who had the potential to be more but that's also on him not the QBs

 

Even bad professional quarterbacks can force feed a superstar wide receiver

Nothing like watching homeboy run one back, ya dig?

Aron Schobel was a really good player that never got the recognition of being that guy . I think he is second on the Bills all time sack list but never gets that recognition he deserved for it, I would love to have a guy like him on today's roster it would make a huge difference !!

 

There are so many you could list !!
