Football Players who Played for Bills and Giants
There is a good chance that if you’ve found this page then you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
That also means that today’s grid has asked for players who have played for both the Buffalo Bills and New York Giants.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played on both the Bills and Giants.
Tyrod Taylor
Tyrod Taylor was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in the 6th round of the 2011 NFL Draft and served as a backup to Joe Flacco for four seasons, earning a Super Bowl ring in Super Bowl XLVII.
Taylor got his chance to start when he signed with the Buffalo Bills in 2015. His dual-threat ability as a passer and runner was key in leading the Bills to their first playoff appearance in 17 seasons in 2017.
However, his time as a starter in Buffalo lasted for only three seasons and he has since gone on to backup roles with the Browns, Chargers, Texans and Giants.

Steve Christie
Steve Christie was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1989. He played in the NFL as a placekicker for 15 seasons, spending time with the Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers, and New York Giants.
Christie is best known for his time with the Bills, where he played for nine seasons and became the franchise’s all-time leading scorer. During his career, he made 336 out of 431 field goal attempts (78%) and 468 out of 473 extra point attempts (98.9%). His career-long field goal was 59 yards.
One of his most memorable moments came in the 1992 AFC Wild Card game, known as “The Comeback,” where he kicked the game-winning 32-yard field goal in overtime, capping the largest comeback in NFL history. Christie’s accuracy and clutch kicking helped him achieve a successful and lengthy career in the league.
Shayne Graham
Shayne Graham is a former placekicker who had a lengthy NFL career. He was initially signed by the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2000. Graham played for several teams throughout his career, including the Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, New York Giants, and Atlanta Falcons, among others.
He is perhaps best known for his time with the Cincinnati Bengals, where he was selected to the Pro Bowl and named a 2nd-team All-Pro in 2005. During that season, he made 28 of 32 field goal attempts and all 47 of his extra-point tries.
Graham’s reliability as a kicker made him a sought-after player for many teams looking for stability at the position. Over the course of his career, he scored over 1,200 points, making him one of the more productive kickers in NFL history. He has also been remarkably accurate, with a career field goal percentage of 85.5%.
Matt Breida
Matt Breida was signed as an undrafted free agent by the San Francisco 49ers in 2017. Breida quickly made a name for himself with his speed and agility. During his time in San Francisco, he rushed for over 1900 yards in three seasons.
Breida’s career then led him to the Miami Dolphins (2020), Buffalo Bills (2021) and New York Giants (2022). While his statistical impact has fluctuated throughout his career, Breida’s versatility and capability as both a runner and receiver have provided valuable depth for his teams.
Throughout his career, Breida’s undrafted status and subsequent success have served as a testament to his hard work and determination in the NFL.
