Head coach Sean McDermott announced the team captains ahead of the season opener against the Cardinals this Sunday.
— — Josh Allen and linebacker Terrel Bernard , who was essentially the quarterback of Buffalo's defense during his breakout season last year.
"Having the respect and trust of my teammates is a big thing for me," Bernard said regarding his new captain status."It speaks volumes to the type of character he has, and the type of leader he already is at such a young age," Allen said. "He's a special one.""It's been really fun to watch him develop as a leader," McDermott said. "The work that he's done, and the work that the staff has done with him.
A year ago at this time, the 25-year-old middle linebacker was an unproven player. It's safe to say he's come a long way in his three years with the Bills. "The first thing I thought about was thinking about my first day here and how everything just seemed so fast," Bernard said. "I was just trying to figure out where to go, trying to be at meetings on time and just living that life, to where I'm at right now. Really just the growth and the journey that I've been on so far, and really appreciating the good and the bad, and looking forward to taking that next step and seeing where it takes me.
