Buffalo Bills to promote Pat Meyer to assistant offensive line coach, per report

Meyer, who served as a football operations consultant for the Bills in 2015, has experience coaching the offensive line and working directly with Bills line coach Aaron Kromer.

Rex Ryan continues to make tweaks to his Buffalo Bills coaching staff, with Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com reporting that football operations consultant Pat Meyer will be promoted to the team's assistant offensive line coach opening.

The Bills hired Meyer as 2015 training camp began, when offensive line coach Aaron Kromer was in the midst of a legal situation that he was ultimately suspended for. Meyer had been the Chicago Bears' offensive line coach when Kromer was that team's offensive coordinator, but while employed by the Bills last season, he was not listed on the coaching staff. Kurt Anderson coached Buffalo's offensive line until Kromer's suspension ended.

After Anderson accepted the offensive line coaching job at Arkansas, the Bills had a vacancy, and giving that gig to Meyer makes sense, given his ties to Kromer.

Meyer becomes the fourth new coach on Ryan's coaching staff so far this offseason, joining Rob Ryan, Ed Reed, and Kathryn Smith. Buffalo's coaching staff currently stands at 22 names, giving the Bills one of the larger coaching staffs in the NFL.
