Tracking every 2024 NFL pre-draft visit involving the Bills — from the NFL Scouting Combine, to Pro Days, private workouts, virtual meetings, and those in-depth Top-30 events.

With the 2024 NFL Draft fast approaching, it’s time to keep a close eye on headlines to find out those players who are meeting with the Buffalo Bills, and in what capacity.

The Buffalo Rumblings tracker should serve as your one key stop in staying up to date with all the pre-draft visit news coming out of One Bills Drive. As we publish content related to individual draft prospect visits listed below, links directly to those articles will be shared as is relevant.

The Bills, under the direction of general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott, have well-utilized the pre-draft visit process to the benefit of roster construction since their first NFL Draft together in 2018.

Beane and company are bold and daring when it comes to the draft, now considered by many to be “impatient” — instead choosing to move up and/or down the board in any given round as it best benefits them at any moment.

A fair share of the players who meet face-to-face with the Bills in the weeks ahead of draft weekend — whether via the NFL Scouting Combine, pro days, private workouts, virtual (Zoom) meetings, or as part of Buffalo’s 30 pre-draft visits allowed to One Bills Drive) — find themselves selected by One Bills Drive near the end of April.

College football tape can provide an adequate assessment of a player’s potential, but meetings with players in-person help to define the traits that don’t jump out during even the most in-depth film session. These meetings, (formal and informal, within the constructs of larger events, and most significantly via official visits to NFL team headquarters) are an important step in determining if a prospect will be the right fit for the team, personnel-wise and beyond.

Note: This should not be viewed as an exhaustive list. The names and information below are simply what has been reported/leaked to the media.
