ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – The Buffalo Bills announced Pat Meyer has been promoted to the team’s offensive assistant and Jason Vrable has been promoted to the team’s assistant quarterbacks coach.
Meyer worked with the Bills in the capacity of football operations consultant in 2015. Last season, Meyer provided assistance to the Bills offensive line in 2015 and the unit achieved exemplary marks. The Bills offensive line helped pave the way to the Bills having both the top rushing attack in the NFL in yards (2,432) and yards per carry (4.78). In addition, Bills G Richie Incognito and C Eric Wood earned Pro Bowl honors for their performances. Prior to Meyer’s arrival in Buffalo, he spent the 2014 season working as the Chicago Bears’ offensive line coach.
Vrable has spent the last three seasons with the Bills as the team’s offensive quality control coach. Vrable worked with QB coach David Lee last season, helping QB Tyrod Taylor seamlessly transition during his first season as the Bills starting quarterback. Taylor, who became the first Buffalo quarterback to earn Pro Bowl honors since Drew Bledsoe in 2002, established a new franchise record for rushing yards by a Bills QB in a single season with 568 yards. In addition to providing a dynamic threat on the ground, Taylor made the Bills a viable threat through the air as his 99.4 passer rating is the second-best in team history behind only Jim Kelly in 1990.
