The Buffalo Bills continue to add to their coaching staff, this time landing a former NFL quarterback who was quickly rising up the ranks in college football.
Daniel Gallen of 247 Sports reported that the Bills landed Penn State quarterbacks coach Trace McSorley, who started his career one year after Josh Allen was drafted but now will hep the Bills quarterback continue to develop his game.

As Gallen reported, McSorley had just survived a coaching change at Penn State.
“McSorley was set to begin his second season as the Penn State assistant quarterbacks coach this spring. Former coach James Franklin hired him to the role last year, and new coach Matt Campbell retained McSorley in the same capacity,” Gallen reported.
McSorley appeared to be held in high regard at Penn State, Gallen noted.
Rocco Becht, Penn State’s redshirt senior quarterback, shared praise for the work McSorley had done to help him develop.
“He’s one of the best quarterbacks to ever play here,” Becht said. “Watching him in high school was super special. … Being here, being in the same room with him has been awesome, the knowledge that he’s able to bring. And I’ve been able to pick his brain a little bit on just what Beaver Stadium brings to the atmosphere around with the fans, how you deal with adversity during the season, and those are conversations that I can’t wait to have with him. Just to have that experience and a guy who has played here in the past in the room is something that I’m looking forward to.”
