Bills sign UB standout, Depew native Joe Andreessen to active roster

As rookie minicamp continues through this weekend, the Bills are signing former University at Buffalo football standout LB Joe Andreessen. He was one of 26 players participating in minicamp on a try-out basis and has now been added to the active roster.

Andreessen is a 6-foot-1, 232-pound local product who grew up in Depew, NY and gets a chance to start his pro career in his hometown.

Andreessen spent his graduate season playing for the University at Buffalo. He started in all 12 games and registered 90 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, one sack, two passes defensed and one forced fumble in 2023.

We all gotta be rooting for this guy ...... play great kid!!

He is named as a Depew native, but he went to Lancaster. 2 time all state LB, took them to the NY AA championship game. And of course, he showed good production in college.



He actually has a decent RAS. 40 time is decent but nothing special. His jumps and shuttle are really pretty good.

Happy for the kid. IF he doesn't make it at Buffalo, he has a chance to latch on to another team.

He's got core special teams written all over him. The next Matakevich? Ulofashio is in his way, though.

He can make the practice squad.
