A member of the Bills Mafia has officially become the Bills… which is pretty funny, to be honest.
meet Joe “Buffalo Joe” AndreessenThe Western New York native dreamed of making the roster of his hometown Buffalo Bills, and he did just that.
It's been an incredible development for Andreessen, who graduated from Lancaster High School and went on to play college football at the University at Buffalo. (RELATED: Cleveland Browns free up $35.832 million in cap space by restructuring Deshaun Watson's contract: Report)
Though he initially went undrafted, he attended a tryout for the Bills and ended up on the roster for the team he grew up rooting for. In the process, he created all sorts of buzz in the city of Buffalo, and as you can imagine, some pretty big buzz about how football is handled in that city. Thus, he earned the nickname “Buffalo Joe.”
“It was great,” Andreessen said upon hearing the news he'd made the Bills roster. Spectrum News“You all know I love this city. I love Western New York. I went to Bryant, so just ask my teammates. I'm always talking about Buffalo and stuff like that. I grew up here. I have a special attachment to this place. It's cool to see stuff like that. Like the blue-collar spirit of Buffalo. I think that's what's great about this city.”
