Our All-Time Top 50 Buffalo Bills have been revised to reflect the 2023 Season
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Buffalo Bills.
As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Bills again made it to the playoffs but again fell short, having been knocked off by Kansas City in the second round. The year gave us one new entrant and two elevations.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:
1. Bruce Smith
2. Thurman Thomas
3. O.J. Simpson
4. Jim Kelly
5. Andre Reed
You can find the entire list here.
Quarterback Josh Allen rose to #22 from #30.
Wide Receiver Stefon Diggs rocketed to #29 from #45. He is now with the Houston Texans.
The only new entrant is three-time Offensive Tackle Dion Dawkins, who first appears at #39.
Notably, Tremaine Edmunds has been dropped off the list.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

The Top 50 Buffalo Bills of All Time
The Buffalo Bills are the only team in NFL history to make the Super Bowl four times. Granted, the team from Western New York lost on all four occasions but over time the accomplishments involved to get there are celebrated more and more.
At present, this list reflects accomplishments up to the end of the 2015 season.
The list is based on traditional metrics advanced metrics, length of service, popularity, and post season performance.
The complete list can be found here, but for those who are curious immediately as to who the top five are, we’ll grant that immediately:
1. Bruce Smith
2. Thurman Thomas
3. Jim Kelly
4. Andre Reed
5. O.J. Simpson
Which team are we working on next?
We will turn our attention to the diamond and the Washington Nationals.
4. Jim Kelly
When the USFL folded, Kelly resigned himself to the cold weather but would become a major star in that environment. Kelly would lead the no-huddle “K-Gun” to one of the most potent offenses of the era and he was a five-time Pro Bowl selection.
