Which players on the Buffalo Bills could play on both sides of the football?

Right now there may not be a bigger story in the sports world than Shohei Ohtani. The Los Angeles Angeles All-Star is currently leading Major League Baseball in home runs with 33 and third in RBIs with 70.

However, what is remarkable and why this season is so special is that Ohtani is an excellent pitcher as well. He is 4-1 through 13 starts with an ERA of 3.49 and 87 strikeouts in 67 innings pitched.

Major League Baseball hasn’t had a player that has been this good, both as a pitcher and hitter, since the days of Babe Ruth. He is accomplishing something that hasn’t been done in over 100 years.

As for the Buffalo Bills, they have always looked for players that can be versatile. However, that versatility is usually limited to their position or where they play, like a defensive end who can slide inside to tackle or a wide receiver that can contribute both on the outside or in the slot.

But it is rare to find players, especially at the NFL level, who play on both offense and defense. However, the Bills do have some history with this as George Wilson in 2006 joined the Bills as a wide receiver but moved to strong safety the following season.

When looking at the Bills roster, these are three players who would likely have the most success moving from their current position to the other side of the ball.
