Buffalo Sabres: Listing 5 players and their Buffalo Bills equivalent
By Sion Fawkes
Kyle Okposo, RW
Buffalo Bills Equivalent: Von Miller, OLB
Okposo is the veteran every player on the Buffalo Sabres looks up to and you can bet Miller will play the same role for the Bills. At least as far as defense goes. What I like about comparing Okposo to Miller is the fact that they were both first round draft picks and are hard workers in their respective craft.
And while I don’t see Okposo as a future Hockey Hall of Famer, he does have one NHL All-Star Game to his resume. Miller, of course, has played in eight Pro Bowls and is almost a lock to see himself enshrined in Canton five years after he retires.
Another link Okposo has to Miller is that neither the Buffalo Sabres nor the Buffalo Bills drafted them. Instead, the duo played elsewhere before arriving in the Queen City and taking leadership roles with their respective franchises.
And finally, both Okposo and Miller are practically locks to be voted in as a team captain. We already touched on the fact that Okposo will most likely snag the C patch in 2022-23. And you can also expect Miller to be wearing one with the Bills.
