Some Buffalo Bills fans are known for going through tables. Bills coaches won’t go that far, but it appears that they will at least stand on the table for certain prospects.

Ed Oliver, the Bills’ first round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, shared how two Bills coaches, defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier and defensive line coach Bill Teerlinck, promised to stand on the table for the Houston defensive tackle if he fell to pick nine.

Oliver, appearing on WGR-550′s The Howard and Jeremy Show, explained that he knew the Bills were calling him based on conversations he had with the team during the pre-draft process.

“When I got that call, I pretty much knew who was on the other end," Oliver told Howard Simon and Jeremy White. "I was so excited because I knew if I was there they were going to take me. Just for them being so honest with me and upfront with me. Their d-line coach (Teerlinck), their defensive coordinator (Frazier) standing on the table, saying, ‘If you’re there, I’m standing on the table for you. We’re going to take you,' and it actually came true.”

When Simon and White asked if Buffalo informed Oliver that he would be their target, the defensive tackle said the coaches promised to push hard for him.

“Yeah, they told me they were going to stand on the table for me. They pushed hard for me.”

Buffalo’s interest in Oliver was well known. The test met with Oliver at the combine, attended his pro day and invited him to One Bills Drive for a pre-draft visit.
