Bills' Alec Anderson on winning starting left guard job
What Alec Anderson said about winning starting job on Bills offense.
The Buffalo Bills have finalized their offensive line roster for the upcoming season by naming Alec Anderson as the starting left guard. Anderson will replace the recently signed David Edwards, who left for the New Orleans Saints in free agency. Anderson edged out veteran Austin Corbett for the starting spot, despite Corbett's nine years of NFL experience and 78 career starts.
Both Anderson and Corbett had competed during the preseason, with neither making a mistake in terms of sacks or pressure. Anderson expressed that being named the starter has changed his perspective on accountability and expectations. The Bills left guard has been with the team since 2022, working his way up from a cut rookie to the practice squad and eventually to a backup role.
The only remaining detail for Anderson is establishing his pregame routine as a starter. He looks forward to learning from veteran teammates and is prepared to adapt his preparation for the upcoming NFL season. Head coach Sean McDermott emphasized the importance of the work that players do for the team, highlighting Anderson's significant contribution to the starting lineup.
