Here we are starting the Top 40 of our Top 100 All-Time Bills' Players countdown.

This 10-member group includes two of the Bills' top quarterbacks, as well as two of the most dominant pass rush specialists in Bills' history. We also have one of the largest humans to ever suit up for the Buffalo on the list.

Additionally, we included a couple of skill position players.

Here is the seventh installment of Bills' Top 100 Players, ranking 40 to 31.

40 — Tony Greene, DB (1971-79)

He earned All-Pro honors and was selected for two Pro Bowls during his Bills career.

Wolford joined the Bills in 1986 and was an immediate starter he moved to left tackle in 1987, where he remained and became one of the best in the league. He earned Pro Bowl honors with the Bills in 1990 and 1992. Washington was a mountain of a man, and anchored the Bills' 3-4 defense that dominated and led to a number one defensive ranking in 1999. He was a three-time Pro Bowler and a second-team All-Pro.

32 — Drew Bledsoe, QB (2002-04)

Schobel is one of the best defensive ends to play for the Bills, recording 78 sacks, which ranks second in team history, behind only Hall of Famer Bruce Smith.
