Defensive end Jerry Hughes was so unblockable during a Buffalo Bills' offseason practice that head coach Rex Ryan had to pull him off the field in order for the offense to get work done.

"It's rare that you have to pull a guy from practice because he's ruining your practice, but I had to pull him," Ryan told the Bills' official website. "If we were keeping track he might have had five, six sacks."

The Rudy-esque effort from Hughes, while appreciated by Ryan, needed to be halted for the benefit of the team. Coaches have such limited time to evaluate their squads in the offseason that it only makes sense to sit a guy down when he's blowing up every offensive play.

"It's one of those deals, it's like, 'OK, let's pull him out. Let's get a pass off or something like that.' He really did have that kind of day."

Hughes has quietly been one of the best pass rushers in the league over the past two seasons, accumulating 19 sacks since coming to Buffalo in 2013. He signed a five-year, $45-million contract with the Bills in the offseason.
