The Buffalo Bills are making moves on their practice squad this Tuesday, adding some serious speed to their roster just days before their Week 5 clash with the Los Angeles Rams. A.J. Woods, a cornerback who was with the Broncos practice squad last season, is the newest addition for Buffalo, bringing some eye-popping athleticism that might just turn some heads.
This Undrafted DB Is An Absolute Burner
This dude is an absolute burner, even if he went undrafted. Back at the Pittsburgh Pro Day in 2024, Woods measured in at 5’10”, 187 pounds, and lit up the track with a scorching 4.40 in the 40-yard dash. We’re talking serious wheels! And it wasn’t just straight-line speed: he logged a 37.5 inch vertical, a 123 inch broad jump, and a ridiculously quick 6.70 time in the three-cone drill. Those are elite numbers, no question, proving he’s a high-caliber athlete despite not getting drafted.
What Woods Brings to the Buffalo Practice Squad
Woods hasn’t gotten his shot in a regular season NFL game yet, but he’s been grinding in the preseason, primarily lining up in the slot for the Commanders, Eagles, and Falcons over the past three years. He’s also been around some serious talent, playing with current Bills safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson when the Eagles snagged the Super Bowl in 2024. Plus, he was college teammates with Damar Hamlin. Now, Buffalo’s got themselves a high-upside player who’s clearly been on the radar. His addition actually puts the Bills over the allowed 16 practice squad members (plus one international pathway program player), and there hasn’t been a corresponding move announced yet. Clearly, they see something special in Woods that was worth pushing the limit for.
The Bills are gearing up to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5, and adding a talent like Woods to the practice squad shows they’re always looking to build depth and scout for that next hidden gem. Keep an eye out to see if Woods gets his chance to show off that explosive athleticism in a regular season game down the line.
