Bills sign Depew native Joe Andreessen to active roster

As rookie minicamp continues this weekend, the Bills are signing former University at Buffalo football star LB Joe Andreessen. He was one of 26 players participating in minicamp on a tryout basis and has now been added to the active roster.

Andreessen is a 6-foot-1, 232-pound local product who grew up in Depew, New York, and is fortunate to begin his professional career in his hometown.

Andreessen spent his college season playing for the University at Buffalo. He started all 12 games and recorded 90 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, one sack, two passes defended and one forced fumble in 2023.

Prior to UB, the LB spent five seasons at Bryant University. Andreessen earned All-America honors at Bryant after recording a school-record 116 tackles in 2022.
