In two games as the Buffalo Bills’ starting center, Duke Preston has faced two of the NFL’s best nose tackles in Jamal Williams of San Diego and Jason Ferguson of Miami.
It won’t get any easier this week.
Up next for Preston is New York Jets stud Kris Jenkins, followed by New England’s Vince Wilfork next week.
“I’ve been waiting for an opportunity and I get to run the gauntlet with Jamal and Ferguson last week and Jenkins this week and Wilfork in two weeks,” Preston said. “It’s definitely a good opportunity for me, just to go out and prove my worth. Jenkins is playing great football right now, so I’m going to have my hands full and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to just go out and battle.”
Perhaps no nose tackle is playing better than Jenkins, who was acquired in a trade with Carolina for third-and fifth-round draft picks.
