Former Buffalo Bills wide receiver Andre Reed will be the Legend of the Game for the 2025 home opener at Highmark Stadium — Sunday night's Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
"I'm just excited to see everybody and come back. The fans, the players, the workers," said Reed. "It's just the stories that I hear when I go back every time that are really important to me, because they tell stories about when I first came there, and it's fun to remember those good times."
Reed was selected by the Bills in the fourth round of the 1985 NFL Draft at pick No. 86. The seven-time Pro Bowler spent most of his career here in Buffalo and feels nothing but nostalgia when it comes to coming back and walking through the tunnel.
"I was here last year for the home opener, and I always feel like when I come down that tunnel, I should have a helmet and some pads on sometimes, but it's just exciting to be in Buffalo," said Reed. "Just goes to show you what kind of fan base Buffalo has and has had since they've been there in Buffalo — the loyalty, the excitement — it's awesome."
The Buffalo Bills Wall of Famer is honored to be the Legend of the Game for the last home opener at Highmark Stadium before the team moves across the street at new Highmark Stadium.
"Man, I remember my first game as a rookie there in 1985, and I remember the last game that I was there, and all the games in between. Like, what a stadium, what a feeling it brings to the game, and the energy that stadium has. You walked in that stadium, and you just knew it was game time, and those fans were behind you 100%," shared Reed.
Reminiscing on the moments he played at Highmark Stadium, his favorite memory came to mind.
"The comeback game. That one is such a staple. It's always front in Bills' minds and fans' minds that were there in Buffalo at that game. The way it happened was crazy. Everybody that was there still tells stories about it. Half of the people left. Half of them came back in. They just stormed everything. It was crazy. But again, that just shows what kind of fans that we have there in Buffalo. They live and die with us," shared Reed.
Reed was a part of the comeback game on Jan. 3, 1993, against the Houston Oilers that Bills fans will remember forever. The Bills were down 25 at the half and came back in the third quarter and scored 28 points and another touchdown in the fourth quarter to beat the Houston Oilers 41–38.
Coming back into that same stadium and being able to hype up the Bills Mafia for a divisional round rematch against the Ravens, Reed believes it is what can help start the season off right.
"I think, out of any year, any opening game, this really sets the tone. It should set the tone for the Bills and the Ravens this season. This is a game both of them would love to win to start the season off right," shared Reed.
