4 Buffalo Bills who are already turning heads in the first week of OTAs

The Buffalo Bills have entered the next phase of their offseason with Organized Team Activities (OTAs) beginning this week. The 10 practices are spread over three weeks and lead to the mandatory minicamp next month.

It is important to keep in context what OTAs are, which are just the beginning of preparation for the upcoming season. During this time there are no pads and hitting is limited, but for some players trying to get bigger roles or even a spot on the team, they need to take advantage of every practice.
