BUFFALO, N.Y. – The Bills are teaming up with the city of Buffalo to help bridge the digital divide for public school students.

On WUFO radio Sunday, Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said thanks to a partnership with the Bills, more than 4,500 students in the city now have internet access, which is more important than ever with more classes being held virtually.

The mayor mentioned Bills cornerback Josh Norman specifically as one player leading the charge in racial equality and social justice reform.

When Norman last spoke to city officials he said it’s important to use his platform to make an impact not only in Buffalo but across the country.

"The Black Lives Matter and what they was doing was a big movement. But how can we be involved in that? How can we be involved in having our voices heard in the platform we use,” Norman said. “Don't use it and don't take it for granted. But pushing that narrative, and not just sitting up here and not doing something, that's not going to affect that change."

Mayor Brown thanked not only Norman, but many other Bills players who are using money from their own pockets to help fund social justice initiatives in the city.
