Buffalo Bills 2022 NFL Draft: 3 college games to watch in Week 12
While some teams may be looking ahead to next year, the Buffalo Bills are squarely in the playoff hunt and for the second consecutive year look to be picking towards the end of each round of the NFL Draft. This certainly creates some challenges for the Buffalo Bills as there are some holes in the roster that have already become apparent this year.
This week the focus was on defensive tackles and running backs as these are two positions that the Buffalo Bills are likely to pay a great deal of attention to leading up to the NFL Draft. On Saturday, these are three games that have some players that could be targets for the Buffalo Bills.
Alabama (2) vs. Arkansas (21)

Prospects to watch that the Buffalo Bills could target
DT Phidarian Mathis, Alabama
Measurables: 6-4, 312 lbs.
Phidarian Mathis is a product of the pipeline of defensive tackle talent that comes from Alabama. Like many Alabama defensive tackles, he has the versatility to play in either a 3-4 or 4-3 defense. Mathis currently is second on the Crimson Tide defense with 5.5 sacks.
What is impressive about Mathis is his ability to get to the ball carrier from the defensive tackle position. He leads the Alabama defensive line with 36 tackles on the season. What has made Mathis such a quality prospect is his ability to rush the passer from inside.
WR Jameson Williams, Alabama
Measurables: 6-2, 190lbs
Jameson Williams is one of the fastest players to touch the field every time he plays. Williams is enjoying a breakout season so far. In 10 games, Williams has 51 catches for 1,028 yards with ten touchdowns averaging a whopping 20.2 yards per catch.
As the numbers tell, Williams is a dangerous deep threat. While Williams’ skill set is built around speed, he still has a large frame and has a very impressive catch radius.
CB Montaric Brown, Arkansas
Measurables: 6-0, 190lbs
Montaric Brown has developed into an excellent corner for Arkansas, and his matchup with Jameson Williams is one to keep an eye on. He is a playmaking corner who is highly aggressive playing the ball. Brown has four interceptions on the year, showcasing his ball skills.
His aggressiveness sometimes gets the better of him, and he does get beat sometimes, but Brown has made significant waves in his game and could end up on an All-SEC team if he continues his strong play.
