The Buffalo Bills have had a stout secondary ever since the team hired Sean McDermott as their head coach in 2017.

Overall as an entire defense in 2020, the Bills took a step back. Despite that, the secondary did not.

Sharp Football reflected that in their secondary ranking across the NFL. In that, the Bills’ defensive backfield was named the second-best in the entire league:

Tre’Davious White, who allowed -0.16 EPA per target in 2020, anchors our second-ranked secondary, which returns every starter including one of the league’s best safety duos in Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer.

In Sharp’s analysis, only the Baltimore Ravens are named a better secondary. That, like the Bills, is a unit stocked with talent.

The good news for the Bills is that the top-three players in their secondary, White, Hyde and Poyer, are all under contract for the next two years.

If the fourth piece of the unit, cornerback Levi Wallace, has a strong 2021, there’s a chance that Sharp could find a way to place Buffalo as the No. 1 secondary in the future.
