Steveson wants to leave his mark with the Bills.
Bills last month, after never having played football in his life, and he has recently begun practicing with the team and is determined to make his NFL career much more than a publicity stunt.
“I think a couple things, one of which is I’m a big believer in wrestlers, and what skills you develop in wrestling and how it can transfer to being a really good football player, especially among the offensive line and defensive line position groups,” Bills head coach McDermott said. “Having not played football ever—not even in high school—that’s a little bit different.
"This means a lot more, this is personal to me," Steveson told reporters this week. "I want to be the guy that makes it."
