Former Pro Bowl Center Praises Bills Rookie Sedrick Van Pran-Granger

When it comes to Buffalo Bills centers, the late Kent Hull is the gold standard, but Eric Wood might be No. 2 on the list.

Forced to retire after nine seasons due to a neck injury discovered during a medical exam, Wood remained with the organization as the official radio color analyst and he did his homework on the 2024 bills.

Naturally, Wood’s early film studies focused on rookie center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, who was a three-year starter for national power Georgia. Wood shared positive analysis on the fifth-round pick via social media site X.

“I just spent some time watching Van Pran Granger’s film and I’m impressed and besides the measurables it’s hard to believe he fell to the Bills in the 5th round. I can’t wait for the training camp practices and preseason games to see how he adjusts to the NFL, but playing all his ball in the SEC will help him!” Wood said in an article last week.

Van Pran-Granger, who made 44 consecutive starts over three seasons, won the 2023 SEC Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the conference’s top offensive lineman.

Draft analyst Jon Ledyard suggested the Bills found a future starting center at 141st overall.
