BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills have agreed to sign first-round draft pick Greg Rousseau to a four-year contract on Thursday.
Buffalo selected the edge rusher with the 30th pick overall in April as part of a bid to upgrade its pass rush. The 21-year-old is considered a developmental project after opting out from playing last season at the University of Miami due to COVID-19 concerns.
Rousseau played one full season at Miami. In 2019, led the ACC with 15 1/2 sacks to earn conference rookie of the year honors.
