Bills' stellar linebacker duo snubbed from Top 10 in offseason LB unit rankings

The Buffalo Bills were dealt a massive blow last season when they lost reigning All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano for the year in a Week 5 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Buffalo, fortunately, had a burgeoning star lining up next to him in Terrel Bernard, who, in his second season, had 143 total tackles, 6.5 sacks, three fumble recoveries, and two interceptions.

Here is what Gordon McGuinness of PFF has to say about the Bills linebackers unit: “Milano was one of the best coverage linebackers in the NFL in 2022, earning an 83.2 PFF coverage grade. Next to him, Terrel Bernard proved himself to be a solid starter in his second NFL season, producing a 65.9 PFF grade on 1,031 snaps.

And it’s this idea that makes the unit’s placement seem quite low—Milano is demonstrably one of the league’s most impactful defenders, and Bernard’s presence was more than felt in his absence last season.

the outlet recently ranked Milano as the fourth-best linebacker in football but did not include Bernard in its top 32
