Jerry Ostroski and AVP both were practice squadders in 94 before being activated towards the end of the season.

cool. Did you remember that or did you look that up? Wonder if there's anyone else from '88-'93, our SB years. Gotta be.

I actually knew that one

that's freakin' interesting to me. Makes me respect AVP even more.

Wonder where we could find more information about Bills practice squads throughout the years. To see if anyone else has gone on to have success.

I remember a local guy from Geneseo, NY tried out for the bills and almost made the practice squad but got cut right before the season. Brian O'neal I think his name is. That was in the late '80's. Too bad for him.

96 Practice squad included Jay Riemersma and FB Jason Bratton (played with us in 97...went on to become a solid FB/LB in the Arena League)
97 Practice Squad featured Bill Conaty (except a few games in which he was activated)
99 Practice Squad included Jeremy McDaniel and future starting SS Raion Hill
