Joe Andreessen, an undrafted rookie linebacker from Depew, NY, has quickly become a fan favorite due to his remarkable journey to the Bills. After impressing during a May tryout, he earned a spot on the 53-man roster and has shown promise in limited playing time, particularly with a standout tackle on special teams against the Seahawks. However, his recent $4,421.29 fine for unnecessary roughness—despite no penalty being called—has drawn the ire of fans, especially considering his modest rookie salary. The situation was further highlighted when former Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick offered to pay the fine, exemplifying the strong community spirit and connection between players and fans in Buffalo.
