Mike Iupati

If the focus of the Buffalo Bills this offseason is to improve the run blocking of the offensive line, there may not be a better option than veteran Mike Iupati.

He was a first round pick by the San Francisco 49ers and played five seasons there before joining the Arizona Cardinals, playing for them from 2015 to 2018. He remained in the NFC West and has played for the Seattle Seahawks the past two seasons.

At this point though, Iupati has two big concerns which are his age (he will be 34 at the start of the season) and injuries. He has played in 16 games in a season once in the past eight seasons and has missed 27 games over the past four years.

Mike Iupati is no longer the sure thing he was earlier in his career but he has shown he can still be an excellent run blocker during his recent stop with the Seahawks. The Buffalo Bills would undoubtedly benefit from having a healthy Mike Iupati starting for them next year.
