Former NC State Running Back Nyheim Hines has been traded from the Colts to the Bills.

According to Schefter, the Bills gave up Running Back Zack Moss and a conditional 6th round pick in next years draft for Hines.

In 7 games in 2022, Hines has 36 yards rushing on 18 carries with 1 touchdown, and 25 receptions for 188 yards. He also has averaged 10.1 yards per punt return (11 returns). His 25 receptions ranks 3rd on the Colts through 8 games.

Pat McAfee, a Colts fan, loves Hines, and thinks that the Bills got a game changer that was under utilized in Indy.

Hines is in the 2nd year of a 3-year extension worth $18.6 million contract that he signed with the Colts prior to the 2021 season. There are two years remaining on Hines’ contract, but there is an opt out clause after this year.

The former Garner High School standout went from the 3-4-1 Colts, to the 6-1 Bills, with superstar Josh Allen handing and throwing him the ball.

I’m stoked for Nyheim!
