DEAL DONE: Detroit lions top player has decided to leave the team and join buffalo…

Both wide receiver Mack Hollins and linebacker Nick Morrow, who signed contracts with the Bills on Thursday

afternoon, expressed how excited they were to be in Buffalo.

Entering his seventh season in the NFL, Morrow became the first player from Greenville University to sign an NFL

contract when he was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2017 by the Oakland Raiders.

The linebacker stated that a major factor in his choice to relocate to Western New York was the winning culture

Buffalo has established under head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane.

After signing, Morrow told the media via Zoom, “I think the biggest thing is just the winning culture, being a part of

something bigger than yourself.”

Morrow played for the Raiders during his first four years of his career, making 29 starts, recording two interceptions,

two forced fumbles, and four sacks. Following a season in Chicago, Morrow fought his way up from the practice

squad to the active roster of the Philadelphia Eagles, where he occasionally played defense while wearing the green

dot.

In Philadelphia, the 28-year-old tied a season-high with three sacks in 12 starts and 15 total games. He stated that as

he gets ready to carve out a spot on the Bills squad, his background in a range of defensive schemes will be of further

assistance.

“I’ve played in many different defensive philosophies, whether it’s mash, zone, 4-3, 3-4 and so, I’ve played all the

positions and I’m willing to work,” Morrow stated.

Hollins, who is about to begin his eighth season in the NFL, was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth

round of the 2017 NFL Draft and had an appearance in Super Bowl LII.

The former UNC Tarheel stated that one of the main factors in his choice to sign with the Bills was the team’s fan

base in Buffalo. He mentioned that a Bills fan had already requested a picture of him before he even got to the facility

to sign a contract.

“I’m really excited to have a fanbase that is so excited about the team,” Hollins stated. “Even today, I was approached

by someone who wanted to take my picture after noticing that I was with a Bills player. That commitment is never an

issue for me, and I will never be bothered by it.”
