Steve Tasker, a legendary figure in Buffalo Bills history and beloved by the Bills Mafia, was rushed to the hospital today after collapsing unexpectedly. The 61-year-old former wide receiver and special teams ace, known for his role in helping the Bills reach four consecutive Super Bowls in the early 1990s, was attending a public event when he suddenly fell ill.
Witnesses say Tasker appeared to be in good spirits prior to the incident, but collapsed without warning. Emergency services were quickly called, and Tasker was transported to a nearby hospital, where he is currently receiving medical attention. Details about his condition have not yet been disclosed, but sources close to the family have requested privacy during this critical time.
The news has sent shockwaves through the Buffalo sports community, with fans, players, and analysts expressing their support and concern for the seven-time Pro Bowler. “Steve is a fighter, just like he was on the field. We’re all praying for him and his family,” said former Bills quarterback Jim Kelly, a longtime friend and teammate.
Known for his grit, leadership, and dynamic special teams play, Tasker has been a staple of Bills culture both on and off the field. After retiring from the NFL in 1997, he transitioned into broadcasting and has remained a prominent voice in the football world.
As fans await updates on Tasker’s condition, many have taken to social media to express their well-wishes, with the hashtag #PrayersForTasker trending in Buffalo. Tasker’s family is expected to release further information in the coming hours as they monitor his
