Bills
Bills DL Gable Steveson is a former gold medal-winning Olympic wrestler who was signed by Buffalo this offseason. He reflected on playing in his first preseason game against the Bears.
โMan, my first football game ever,โ Steveson said, via NFL.com. โDefinitely a great time, definitely cool to see all the Buffalo Bills fans come out. Not the way we wanted it to end, but itโs preseason, weโre here to grow and weโre here to get better.โ
Gable thinks getting snaps against Chicagoโs offensive line was helpful for his development.
โYou definitely want to see how everyoneโs going to play,โ Gable said. โEveryone has different play styles. Definitely, not seeing our own practice partners out there and seeing a new group of line thatโs out there, is definitely something thatโs going to help us along the way, especially me being so new to football.โ
