9 former Buffalo Bills players set to make debut in the USFL
WR Tre Walker, Pittsburgh Maulers
Tre Walker is tied with Ahmad Gooden for the shortest tenure as a Buffalo Bill when he was released only eleven days after signing. Walker was signed after the 2021 draft but released when the Bills added fellow USFL receiver, Lance Lenoir. The Bills are the only team Walker was signed to in the NFL during the 2021 season.
CB Isaiah “Ike” Brown, New Orleans Breakers
Ike Brown is perhaps the most unique story of former Bills in the USFL. Brown was signed as an undrafted free agent after the 2020 NFL Draft. Brown was not likely to make the roster and was fighting for a spot on the practice squad when he suddenly retired towards the end of training camp. Brown told Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News that “I fell out of love with actually playing (football) it”.
Brown has found his love for football again as he was drafted in the 11th round of the USFL draft and plans to participate for the New Orleans Breakers this season.
