Defensive Line

  • Jerry Hughes
  • Ed Oliver
  • Harrison Phillips
  • Trent Murphy
  • Star Lotulelei
  • Jodan Phillips
  • Shaq Lawson
  • Eddie Yarbrough
  • Kyle Peko

The Bills have switched to a 4-3 base defense under defensive Head Coach Sean McDermott. Hughes and Murphy are a solid defensive end combination. The potential of the young tackle duo of Phillips and first-round pick Oliver is off the charts. Lotulelei and Phillips will both get plenty of playing time in the tackle rotation. Lawson needs to live up to his first-round status of three years ago while Yarbrough and Peko provide more solid depth.
