Hyde, who was a free agent signee of the Bills back in March, has been a ballhawk since Week 1 when he tallied an interception in the season opening victory over the Jets. But he’s had four interceptions in his last four games.
The former Hawkeye has been a major player in the Bills’ league leading takeaway total of 17 through their first seven games.
The safety played for Iowa from 2009-2012. During that time, Hyde totaled 240 tackles and eight interceptions.
