Free agent defensive lineman Ezekiel Ansah recently visited the Buffalo Bills, and Bills general manager Brandon Beane said on WGR 550 that the team has remained in touch with him.
“We had a great visit with Ziggy, and he’s a great young man,” Beane said Thursday morning. “He had a tough shoulder injury last year, and he’s still rehabbing that. I know he went on a couple other visits, or at least one other that I’m aware of. We had great talks with him and his agent. It’s kind of just at a standstill right now, but it doesn’t mean it will or it won’t happen. We’ll see going forward, and we’ll stay in touch with him and his representatives.”
Ansah spent the 2018 campaign with the Detroit Lions, playing in just seven games due to the aforementioned shoulder injury. During the time he was on the field, he registered 11 tackles and four sacks.
The 29-year-old, who played his collegiate football at BYU, was originally selected by the Lions with the fifth overall pick of the 2013 NFL Draft.
He went on to have an impressive rookie season, appearing in 14 contests and finishing with 30 tackles, eight sacks, and a couple of forced fumbles. Then, the following year, Ansah participated in all 16 games and totaled 51 tackles, 7.5 sacks, and three forced fumbles.
The Ghana native went on to make his first Pro Bowl appearance in 2015, racking up 47 tackles, 14.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and a couple of fumble recoveries.
Ansah then had a very disappointing 2016 campaign before posting 44 tackles and 12 sacks in 2017.
