He was traded to Buffalo in April 2013 for linebacker Kelvin Sheppard and immediately broke out in Buffalo, posting back-to-back 10-sack seasons.Though Hughes has yet to match those sack totals over the past four seasons, he’s been a consistent and dominant presence off the edge for Buffalo, drawing double teams and harassing opposing quarterbacks.“Watching him develop off the field and then watching him trying to take his game to another level, I’ve enjoyed that,” McDermott said. “We are excited about it.”With the Bills, Hughes has 42 sacks and 280 tackles from 2013-18.

I think everybody in the locker room will say the same thing.”NOTES: For the first time in 42 years, the Bills have a player wearing O.J. Simpson’s former No. 32.

Some teams go for different innovations which can give them a step ahead of the competition. Chip Kelly’s no huddle offense comes to mind first as a person who thought they could change the NFL. For the most part one of these changes only comes around every 10-20 years in the league.On the flip side teams look for players that will adjust the way that teams play the game. These players can either be great with the way the NFL is or so good that they change the way other teams look at talent. This is the case with certain players who have joined the NFL and just looked different from the first time they got the opportunity. Running backs like Adrian Peterson or LaDainian Tomlinson who come into the NFL great and never look back. Quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers or Peyton Manning who take over and immediately put up stats. Or wide receivers like Odell Beckham Jr. or Julio Jones who can dominate no matter who is throwing them the ball. Once they burst onto the scene it’s over.But what fun is that to talk about. Instead we want to look at the players who had us all fooled. Those guys who came out with a great year but never quite were able to reach those levels again given the circumstances. Sometimes it is because they are on a Super Bowl team performing their one role incredibly well, other times they’re in a spot with no expectations and pop onto the scene. Either way here are the seven QBs, RBs and WRs who were one year wonders .
