The Buffalo Bills are not limiting themselves to traditional football scouting methods as they search for talent. In a surprising move, the team has invited professional lacrosse player Zed Williams to their rookie minicamp, according to a report by Ryan Talbot of NYup.com.

Williams, who has spent four successful years in the Pro Lacrosse League, has accepted the invitation to showcase his skills on the football field. In 2020, he garnered recognition as an All-Pro and was hailed as the league's Most Valuable Player. Additionally, Williams has also been playing in the National Lacrosse League since 2018.

While the 25-year-old athlete's primary focus has been lacrosse, his experience as a standout lacrosse player in high school at Silver Creek in western New York makes him an intriguing prospect for the Bills. It is worth noting that the report does not mention any prior football experience by Williams.

The Bills' decision to give Williams a chance at their rookie minicamp suggests that they see potential in the crossover athlete. If he possesses the necessary skills and adaptability to excel in football, Williams' journey from lacrosse to the NFL could become an interesting story of determination and success.

Only time will tell if Zed Williams has what it takes to make an impact on the football field, but his unique background and achievements in the lacrosse world certainly make him an intriguing candidate for the Buffalo Bills. The NFL continues to demonstrate its willingness to explore talent from unexpected sources, proving that scouting for potential stars can happen anywhere.
