BITTERSWEET Reality: Bills’ Best Stars Not Named Josh Allen May Be Facing Final Season Together**

Top 5 Buffalo Bills Stars Entering the 2025 Season — Not Named Josh Allen

As training camp quickly approaches, the Buffalo Bills are gearing up for another determined push toward the Super Bowl. With MVP-caliber quarterback Josh Allen leading the charge, Buffalo remains one of the NFL’s most formidable contenders, hoping this year brings their long-awaited first championship.

When fans think of the Bills, Josh Allen is the immediate standout—undeniably the team’s top player. But beyond Allen, the roster boasts several elite talents who are crucial to Buffalo’s success heading into the 2025 season.

The 5 Best Bills Players Entering 2025 (Excluding Josh Allen)

5. OL Connor McGovern
McGovern has become a cornerstone of Buffalo’s offensive line, especially after transitioning from guard to center. His pass protection skills were excellent last season, and with his contract expiring soon, he’s expected to be a top candidate for an extension.

4. LB Terrel Bernard
Often flying under the radar, Bernard has emerged as a defensive leader. After back-to-back seasons with over 100 tackles, he secured a four-year extension this offseason. He’s effectively taken over the role of the defensive quarterback for the Bills.

3. OL Dion Dawkins
Known affectionately as “The Schnowman,” Dawkins has been a reliable left tackle for Josh Allen since the quarterback’s rookie year. A four-time Pro Bowler, Dawkins is still in his prime and remains one of the league’s top blindside protectors.

2. CB Christian Benford
Benford, a sixth-round pick in 2022, has surpassed all expectations. After signing a four-year extension, he’s become Buffalo’s top cornerback and is now viewed as one of the NFL’s top ten players at the position. His lockdown coverage is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

1. RB James Cook
Despite ongoing contract disputes, James Cook has solidified himself as the Bills’ second-most impactful offensive weapon. He’s recorded consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons and tied for the league lead in rushing touchdowns last year. Whether or not he stays with Buffalo beyond 2025, Cook is set to be a major force in the backfield this season.
