The 31-year-old is coming off one of his most impressive seasons with the Bills, tallying five interceptions, 74 tackles and a sack. A former Green Bay Packer (2013-16) and native of Toledo, Ohio, Hyde and his teammate Jordan Poyer have cemented themselves as one of the best safety tandems in the National Football League. 

A product of the University of Iowa, Hyde has played in 144 career games and has recorded 590 tackles, 22 interceptions and five sacks.

In 2017, Hyde earned Pro-Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro honours with five interceptions and 82 tackles.
