Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott was pleased with what he saw from former undrafted cornerback Ja'Marcus Ingram on Saturday night.
There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Sean McDermott is going to get the absolute most out of an overlooked defensive back.sideline boss has made a career out of placing young and veteran defensive backs cast off by the rest of the league in positions to succeed, using his scheme to mask their deficiencies and, more often than not, getting productive play out of them.
The cornerback signed with the Bills out of the University at Buffalo in 2022 following a successful rookie minicamp tryout, spending the vast majority of his first two seasons on the team’s practice squad. He hasn’t looked particularly stellar when given a scant few defensive opportunities as a professional , but he’s earned the trust of Buffalo’s brass thanks to his work ethic and consistency.
Simply put, he looked like a defensive back whom McDermott can work with. The coach complimented Ingram’s performance and general game after the team’s 9-3 win, stating that he’s a player beloved by his peers.“He practices the same way,” McDermott said. “His teammates love him, they respect him for the way he works and all of the work he puts in physically, all of the work he puts in on the mental part of the game. I’m just real proud of him.
Ingram displaying positional versatility and looking generally dependable bode well for his roster aspirations, which weren’t necessarily cloudy to begin with. He’ll look to further make his mark on the team’s coaching staff in Buffalo’s preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers next Saturday afternoon.Buffalo Bills' offseason addition exits preseason game with neck injury
