Best Bills Defensive Backs

The best defensive back in Bills history is Butch Byrd (1960s), rated 86 out of 100 — just ahead of Tre'Davious White and Stephon Gilmore. Below, all 12 ranked, spanning 1960s–2020s.

These are all-era rankings with no cutoff year: a Bills defensive back from the 1960s is rated on the same scale as one playing today, which is why this list looks different from rankings that only go back to the modern era. The ratings are the same ones that power 17-0, the free game where you draft a roster of all-time greats and sim whether it goes a perfect 17-0 season.
