Buddy Nix likes running backs. Or, at least, the team he last worked for before he came to Buffalo (San Diego) really likes running backs. During Nix’s tenure out west, the Chargers drafted running backs particularly well. That’s not to say that they drafted a lot of running backs; they nabbed just three in the eight years that Nix spent there. You might recognize those three names, however: LaDainian Tomlinson, Michael Turner and Darren Sproles were all scouted by Nix.
Chan Gailey likes running backs, too. He’s worked with some of the greatest in league history, including Emmitt Smith and Jerome Bettis. Most recently, Gailey was part of a Kansas City organization that spent a third-round pick on Jamaal Charles, who exploded onto the scene with a 1,417-yard, 8-TD season in 2009 (albeit in Todd Haley’s offense, and not Gailey’s).
Buffalo has a rich history at running back as well, and they’ve got some good players on the roster at that position already. Don’t be surprised, however, if Nix and Gailey try to diversify the Bills’ talent at the position.
