In 188 games with the Bills, the Cleveland native tallied 11 interceptions, two touchdowns, 38.5 sacks, and 83 solo tackles. Talley was also named to the Pro Bowl in 1990 and 91. Talley spent his last two seasons in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings.
And his 14-year NFL career encouraged him to stay connected to the game through the NFL Legends Community.
“I think that we can give the younger guys an insight as to what they got to look forward to,” Talley said. “Just by talking to them, they get an understanding of how we felt as players, and how together we were as a team. We all show up, and we all want the very best for them because at heart, we’re all still Buffalo Bills. We spent so much time there and we love the city of Buffalo.”
Now after watching the young guys in the first two 10 weeks of the season, Talley is proud of their ability to not let one game define them.
“At times the defensive line plays exceptionally well, then we have times where Josh has to be a hero, and then we have times where our offense runs really well,” Talley said. “And what I admire about these guys is that they play, and they play hard, and that’s all you can ask.”
Now Sunday’s game is special for Talley for many reasons – 1. Having the honor of being the Legend of the Game, 2. Seeing the 2022 Bills up-close in person against a team his brother John Talley played for, and 3. Being in the crowd as the team celebrates Native Heritage Month.
“To be able to hear about your heritage being given some time in a professional sports setting that really didn’t have to, but they do out of the kindness of their hearts means the world to me,” Talley said. “I’m really proud of the fact that they’re doing that. It makes me proud to be a former NFL player.”
