Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer

Hyde and Poyer both came to the Bills prior the 2017 season, and have been one of the NFL's best safety duos since. They have started nearly every game since arriving in Buffalo, and have been massively important pieces on some of the NFL's best defenses since head coach Sean McDermott came to Buffalo.
