Teams like the Buffalo Bills become Super Bowl contenders not just by nailing their high-profile draft picks — like quarterback Josh Allen — but by finding talent and maximum value where the spotlight isn't.
They do it by finding value in players like 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive guard Alec Anderson, who became a full-time starter for the first time in 2026 after making the Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2022.

Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox named Anderson the "Biggest Surprise" on the Bills' roster heading into Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
"The Buffalo Bills' 30th-ranked defense has been an issue in 2026," Knox wrote on October 17. "However, Buffalo is sitting at 4-1 because its offense has been one of the most productive in the league. Guard Alec Anderson has been a huge part of Buffalo's offensive success, which has likely surprised most fans. A 2022 undrafted free agent out of UCLA, Anderson has long been a valuable depth piece for the Bills. However, he beat out free-agent addition Austin Corbett for the left-guard role in camp and hasn't looked back. Austin has started every game and played 100 percent of the offensive snaps through five weeks. He has now also played more offensive snaps in 2026 than his previous career-high in a season."
