Linebacker Tyler Matakevich made it very clear on Wednesday why he chose to continue his career in a Buffalo Bills uniform, after singing with the team as a free agent this offseason.
“The culture and the personality of who they are,” Matakevich said while speaking to the Buffalo media on a Zoom conference call. “Talking with coach [Sean> McDermott it was sort of clear. I was definitely excited to be a part of the Bills culture, BillsMafia, everything about it. I feel like it's just hard-nosed, blue collar, and I feel like that to me head-to-toe.”
“I knew about it. I knew Dion Dawkins pretty well,” he said of the Bills' left tackle. “I always see his stuff, and I was able to keep in contact with him, and through him I was really able to just really see what the Bills are about through the last few years. We played them last year and they sort of kicked out butt. So I definitely knew about them prior and they were definitely on the radar.”
