Buffalo Bills starting DE Greg Rousseau provided an evaluation of his rookie teammate one week into training camp.
Solomon played his college ball for Troy, the same school that produced Hall-of-Famer Demarcus Ware and Super Bowl champion Osi Umenyiora, and thewere likely amongst the factors that pushed Solomon to Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft, but Rousseau, who hails from a Power 5 college program, recognized the rookie's ability and potential during a guest appearance on
"Seeing the way he can bend the corner, the way he uses his hands for a young guy, it's at a very high level. I feel like he has a real bright future and he's fitting in. He's also a great kid," said Rousseau, a 2021 first-round selection. That hand movement helped Solomon total 33.0 sacks at Troy. In 2023, his 16.0 sacks led all NCAA Division I FBS players.
"There's some natural rush . Some guys just have that feel," said general manager Brandon Beane, who appeared on One Bills Live one day after Rousseau.Now, Solomon is battling for a spot in an edge rusher rotation that features Rousseau, former second-round pick AJ Epenesa, and future Hall-of-Famer Von Miller amongst others.
"He's nice. I like him. He's nice. He's got long arms. He's got really big hands. He's built for it. He's a rusher," said Rousseau.
