Former Alabama defensive back Bradley Sylve is reportedly signing his first NFL contract.

Sylve is signing with the Buffalo Bills, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle.

The speedy cornerback spent the last year recovering from an Achilles tendon injury he sustained the day before the Crimson Tide's 2016 Pro Day. Sylve was simply warming up prior to a workout when he sustained the injury that derailed his NFL dream.

Sylve served as a backup at corner during the 2015-16 season. He recorded a team-high nine tackles on special teams during his final year in crimson.
