BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) - Lancaster native and former UB Bull Joe Andreessen's childhood dream has come true, making the Buffalo Bills initial 53-man roster ahead of the 2024 NFL season.
Andreessen's unlikely path to the NFL began at Lancaster High School, where he led the Legends to some of their best seasons in program history. He then went to Bryant University for five years before finishing his collegiate career at the University at Buffalo. After a strong season with the Bulls, Andreessen earned a tryout with the Bills as an undrafted free agent in May and eventually signed with the team a few days later.
