The greatest Buffalo Bills player to wear #33:

An offensive “flex” weapon, Ronnie Harmon owns the number 33 spot in Buffalo Bills history. Harmon did about what you’d expect a flex player to do in the 16th overall selection by the Bllls in the 1986 NFL Draft. As a jack of two trades and a master of none, Harmon never had eye-popping stats.

But what Harmon did do well is just being able to get those yards. In his second season, he tallied over 960 total yards and four touchdowns, the best of his short, 4-year career with the team. Harmon’s final play as a Bill is infamous, as he was overthrown/unable to make a wide-open catch in the 1989 divisional playoff game against the Cleveland Browns.

Jim Kelly would throw the game-losing interception on the very next play. To think if they’d just have made the extra point on the drive before they wouldn’t have needed to take shots at the endzone.

Harmon went on to have more success with the San Diego Chargers, where his receiving yard total would explode to over 3,000 yards through the air for his Chargers tenure.
