Eric Wood\u2019s Centered on Buffalo podcast<\/a>. <\/p>\n\u201cYeah, that\u2019s very much my expectation, I think it\u2019s everybody else\u2019s expectations,\u201d Hoecht said. \u201cTimelines for Achilles, they can be as short as… I can remember Cam Akers, teammate of mine with the Rams, he did his in five months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt used to take maybe a year, I don\u2019t really see it taking that long,\u201d he said. \u201cBut my own personal goal for myself is to be done by July 1 and then hopefully ramp up for camp… Knowing me and knowing how I approach things, we\u2019ll be ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hoecht will be playing in a new system in his second season with the Bills. His versatility, however, makes him an outstanding fit, on paper, in Jim Leonhard\u2019s defense.
