The Bills’ 2006 linebacker corps was led by veteran London Fletcher, whom Sheldon had previously worked with in St. Louis. Fletcher enjoyed one of the top statistical years of his career in 2006, leading the team with 157 tackles and scoring two defensive touchdowns. Fletcher's four interceptions and 11 passes defensed on the year both led all NFL linebackers. Sheldon also shaped the development of veteran linebacker Angelo Crowell, who in only 11 games logged 95 tackles, two interceptions, two sacks and a forced fumble.
