2. Tom Brady

When he finally decides to retire, Tom Brady will go down as the best player to play the position. He probably could retire right now with that distinction but unfortunately for the Buffalo Bills after a year off, the defense will be tasked with stopping Brady.

The long-time New England Patriots made the move to the NFC and joined the Bucs last year. Even with the new team, it was more of the same from Brady as he threw for over 4,600 passing yards and 40 touchdowns with only 12 interceptions.

While he doesn’t have the athletic ability as some of the other quarterbacks like Tannehill or Watson, he is one of the smartest quarterbacks they will face. He gets the ball out quickly and to players like Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown, and Rob Gronkowski.

That is where the challenge lies for the Buffalo Bills as the best way to beat Brady is to get pressure on him but that is easier said than done. There is no question that Brady is going to be one of the toughest quarterbacks the Buffalo Bills will have to face this season.
