Buggs, a Louisiana native, assisted the Lions to its first NFC North Division title since 1993. The Lions last won the division when it was called the NFC Central. The 27-year-old now gets an opportunity to make an impact in Kansas City. Buggs came to the University of Alabama from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (2015-16). He became a standout in two years for the Crimson Tide, helping the team to a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2017 and a Southeastern Conference Championship in 2018. Alabama fans look forward to seeing how he performs as a member of a Super Bowl contending team.
