Who are the top Buffalo Bills of all time? Here is our top 10 countdown:
10. Eric Moulds: the NFL record-holder for most receiving yards in a playoff game (240), Moulds took over the mantle from Andre Reed as Buffalo’s #1 receiver and made three Pro Bowls during his decade with the Bills; he is currently #2 all-time in franchise career receiving yards behind Reed.
9. Josh Allen: an electrifying dual-threat quarterback, Allen has steadily improved since being drafted seventh overall in 2018, earning his first Pro Bowl selection in 2020 and setting Buffalo single-season records for both passing yards and touchdowns while also rushing for at least five touchdowns every season thus far.
8. Kent Hull: the anchor of the offensive line for the “K-Gun” offense, Hull spent his entire 11-year NFL career in Buffalo and was named to three Pro Bowls with an All-Pro selection in his prime.
7. Kyle Williams: a stalwart in Buffalo for his entire 13-year NFL career, Williams was a team leader at defensive tackle who also quietly made six Pro Bowls.
6. Cornelius Bennett: acquired as a rookie by the Bills in a three-team trade involving Eric Dickerson, Bennett was one of the best linebackers of the late 1980s and early 1990s, earning five Pro Bowl nods and an All-Pro selection in his nine seasons with Buffalo.
5. Andre Reed: far and away the leading receiver in Buffalo team history and Jim Kelly’s favorite target in the “K-Gun” offense, Reed amassed over 13,000 receiving yards with 87 touchdowns in his 15 seasons as a Bill, earning seven Pro Bowl nods in the process.
4. Thurman Thomas: one of the best dual-threat running backs in NFL history and a key cog in the “K-Gun” offense that went to four straight Super Bowls, Thomas is not only the Bills’ all-time rushing leader, but was also a 5x Pro Bowler, 2x All-Pro, and 1991 MVP during his dozen seasons in Buffalo.
3. O.J. Simpson: before he was infamous for off-the-field news, Simpson was one of the dominant running backs of the 1970s with six Pro Bowl (including six straight) and five All-Pro seasons with 1,000+ rushing yards, including four rushing titles across nine seasons as a Bill; moreover, he became the first player to rush for 2,000 yards in a season (2,003 in his MVP 1973 season).
2. Jim Kelly: the all-time leading passer in franchise history, Kelly came over from the USFL in 1986 and spent his entire 11-year NFL career running the Bills’ “K-Gun” offense, earning five Pro Bowl selections and one All-Pro nod while leading Buffalo to four straight Super Bowl losses.
1. Bruce Smith: the NFL’s all-time career sack leader (200.0), Smith played his first 15 seasons in Buffalo and was a 2x Defensive Player of the Year, 11x Pro Bowler, and 8x All-Pro who racked up a dozen double-digit sack seasons with the team, including a career-best 19.0 in 1990.
