how should I feel about this
I was like there’s no way Bobby April is still coaching special teams but its his son 🤣
I had no idea his son was with the Bills years ago.
Now we just have to figure out who our outside linebackers in a 3-4 are.
I know nothing about him, but based on nothing at all, I say this is a home run hire.
Out with the old Bobby, in with the new Bobby
Defense just can’t function without a Bobby

Ill is a funny last name.
/s
Love these hires and all the connective tissue. This coaching staff should be in sync. Just need the right player personnel to deliver!
Excited to see who the DL coach will be. Keep it up Brady!!
Hell yeah! I know nothing about this guy’s ability to coach but Bobby April’s special teams during the drought were always a highlight. We consistently had a top 10 special teams, no?
This is actually kind of cool: Bobby April II would have given Leonhard is first NFL job as a player in 2005, because April coached special teams and Leonhard made the team as a UDFA special teamer.
I LOVE Bobby April, huge hire(I don’t know who that is)
