Two connections with Bills: Marquel Blackwell: The Buffalo Bills running backs coach previously served as the RB coach at the University of Virginia during Colandrea's freshman season (2023). Blackwell directly coached with the Cavaliers while Colandrea was breaking UVA's single-season freshman passing records. Tony Elliott: While not on an NFL coaching staff, the Virginia head coach who recruited and developed Colandrea extensively as his starting quarterback works closely with the Buffalo Bills front office during the evaluation and scouting process.
