Orchard Park, N.Y. (WGR Sports Radio 550) - Buffalo Bills rookies will look to make a good first impression on their coaches and teammates when they hit the field for the first time Friday at rookie minicamp.
2025 first-round cornerback Max Hairston will join the rest of the Bills' draft class, as well as undrafted free agent signings and several players who will be attending on a tryout basis.
Last year, linebacker and Lancaster native Joe Andreessen was given a tryout. Not only did that earn Andreessen a contract to join the 90-man offseason roster, he eventually made the final 53-man roster at the end of training camp.
The Bills currently have 89 players on their active roster. Because offensive lineman Travis Clayton counts as an international player, the team is allowed to carry 91 players throughout the offseason.
That leaves a couple of spots open if they decide to sign anyone who impresses over the two-day camp.
Rookie minicamp falls under "Phase III" of offseason workout rules, which means no live contact, but the team can conduct 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills.
