Bills Sign UFL MVP Running Back Ian Wheeler

The Buffalo Bills have officially bolstered their roster by signing running back Ian Wheeler to a one-year contract following his dominant performance in the United Football League. Wheeler recently earned championship MVP honors with the Louisville Kings, where he established a league record for the most rushing touchdowns in a single contest. Before his success in the spring league, the Howard University alumnus spent time with the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints, though his initial NFL career was hindered by a significant knee injury. Now fully recovered, the productive ball carrier joins Buffalo to compete for a spot in the backfield while wearing jersey number 27. This signing reflects the team's ongoing efforts to finalize their depth chart as they prepare for the upcoming 2026 training camp.
