Buffalo’s versatile, special-teams-first safety with upside
John Keough has carved out a valuable role at Buffalo as a hard-nosed safety and standout special-teams contributor, appearing in all 12 games in 2025 after playing every game in 2024. The differentiator is his versatility and reliability: he combined 14 tackles in 2025 with a 2024 fumble recovery, and Buffalo credits him as a “standout on special teams.” His EA rating profile points to real speed (87) and acceleration (88) with solid pursuit (77), suggesting a player who can cover ground and help in multiple phases. He looks like a fit for teams that value toughness, effort, and roster flexibility over pure stat-stuffing. [6][1][2][3]
