The Buffalo Bills made a heartfelt and strategic addition after the 2026 NFL Draft, welcoming a familiar last name back into the fold.
Shortly after the draft wrapped up, the team signed offensive tackle Bruno Fina as an undrafted free agent, giving the organization a chance to continue a legacy that runs deep in Buffalo.
Bruno is the son of John Fina, a longtime anchor on the offensive line who started more than 130 games during his decade with the Bills. John was a key part of those unforgettable early-1990s teams that reached back-to-back Super Bowls.
Now, more than two decades later, his son has the opportunity to follow in those footsteps and build his own story wearing the same colors.
Bruno brings impressive college credentials to Orchard Park. He appeared in 44 games with 38 starts across stints at UCLA and Duke. In his final season at Duke, he started all 14 games at left tackle, protecting a high-powered offense that featured a 3,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard rusher, and a 1,000-yard receiver in the same year.
At 6-foot-5 and nearly 300 pounds, Bruno has the size and frame NFL teams look for on the offensive line. He also stands out off the field, having earned academic honors while completing both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
For the Bills, this move offers low-risk upside — a developmental prospect with strong fundamentals, starting experience, and football intelligence passed down from his father.
For Bruno, the opportunity carries extra weight. Stepping into the same organization where his dad built his reputation is more than just another roster spot — it’s a chance to honor the family name while creating his own path.
The real work starts now in OTAs and training camp. Whether Bruno can translate his college success to the professional level will determine if this signing becomes one of those special full-circle moments in Buffalo sports history.
A new Fina era is officially underway.
