Five players you forgot played for the Buffalo Bills
Who suited up for the Bills over the years that you may have forgotten about?No one in Buffalo has forgotten about Lee Evans or Stevie Johnson, but considering how productive both were as members of the Bills, it does feel like the national NFL landscape overlooks both.
The Bills selected Evans with the 13th overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft out of Wisconsin, and got a pretty tremendous return on their investment. Though he was never part of a team that reached the postseason, Evans caught 377 passes for 5,934 receiving yards in seven seasons in Buffalo. Evans' 1,292 receiving yards in 2006 were the sixth-most in the league, which helped lead to a career-year for the otherwise unremarkable J.P. Losman.
For three seasons, Evans was teammates with Johnson, a seventh round pick of the Bills in 2008. Johnson wasn't much of a factor in his first two NFL seasons, but between 2010 and 2012, he accumulated 3,123 receiving yards. Like Evans, Johnson never played on a playoff team in Buffalo, but he was still quite a valuable asset for a trio of seasons.
Even if Evans and Johnson deserve more recognition, everyone remembers them as Bills.
