Jordan Hancock, the Bills’ under-the-radar defensive back, is finally healthy and making waves after shoulder surgery sidelined him last year. A fifth-round pick in 2025, his rookie season was hampered by injuries and a position switch — he played just 148 snaps and struggled against opposing receivers. But with new DC Jim Leonhard taking over, Hancock’s getting a real shot. Leonhard praised his playmaking and physicality, noting he’s been slotted at nickel corner but also brought back to safety — his college position. In a recent exhibition vs. Carolina, Hancock dominated the field for nearly half the defensive plays, earning high praise from both coaches. Head coach Joe Brady called him a “chess piece” who “flies around” and “makes plays,” especially impressive given he missed spring practice. With joint practices in Ohio and a preseason game ahead, Hancock has a golden opportunity to cement his role and prove he’s more than just a sleeper — he’s ready to shine.
