PITTSFORD, N.Y. – Training camp for Bills players Friday included a lot more than drills.
Kim Pegula, team co-owner, stopped by St. John Fisher University to visit the players. The Fairport native was escorted to the end zone by her husband Terry.
Kim Pegula suffered cardiac arrest in the summer of 2022. She’s stopped by other practices this week, but this was the first time she’s left the vehicle.
She was greeted by coach Sean McDermott before addressing the team, who huddled around her.

Practice also included seeing wide receiver and fan favorite Keon Coleman catch some passes.
It’s uncertain who might start at safety for the Bills, but Bobby Babich has an idea of what he wants.

Players who can “take control of the defense… and make plays.”
Leadership and skill are key at safety for Buffalo.#BillsMafia
